“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.”John 16:33 NLT
When we have the Lord in our lives we can take heart. No matter what we experience He is there with us, His peace sustains us.
Today my new flat mates and ai climbed a local mountain to celebrate one of the women’s birthdays. At times it was hard going, but we survived. Coming down we stopped at a resort to buy a lassie each (no not so dog - a milk and youghurt shake). When we were leaving we were confronted by a 3 foot long snake which was very active. We alerted the management and they smiled and said they were not afraid as it comes often. One of my friends was quite disturbed. Being an Aussie used to snakes and spiders I was not troubled. We went around a different route to the exit.
Satan shows his head at the most inconvenient times. It can be frightful to the uninitiated. He uses people close to us in unexpected ways. We would be wise to see their tendencies and not give them too much room to strike ( when we walk in sinful ways of offence we are tools of the enemy).
We survived the snake and then saw a woman, alone, rubbing her deformed foot and leg. I asked if we could pray for her. I sensed the presence of God and have to trust He is healing her. My friend shared the gospel with her in Nepali. I can see we will be a good team. Praise God!
