All trials... come from the hand of the enemy... under the sovereign control... of the Father...
Who has spoken and it came to pass,
unless the Lord has commanded it?
Is it not from the mouth of the Most High
that good and bad come?
Lamentations 3:37-38 ESV
Jesus... the Word... came into the world as Light... the One who overcomes... darkness...
In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men.
And the Light shines on in the darkness,
for the darkness has never overpowered it.
John 1:4-5 Amp
To embrace trials... as Jesus did... is to remember that... the darkness... has never... overpowered... the Light...
In Christ... there is no fear of ultimate destruction... or loss... due to suffering... because... there is NO darkness... that is able to overpower... the Light...
I believe that God can and will produce good out of all things, even out of the most evil.
--- Dietrich Bonhoeffer, I Want to Live These Days with You
Father God... help me to stay focused on the Light...
to remember darkness never has... or will...
overpower... the... Light...
"...I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me.
Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows.
But take heart, because I have overcome the world."
---Jesus
John 16:33 NLT
