He has overcome so that I can rest in peace

 But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,~1 Peter 3:15

God is good and He is good to me.  I do not want this day to go by without thanking Him for His many blessings.  I thank Him for the victories.  I thank Him for already overcoming. "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33

Today I learned that my son's school district is preparing to move into Phase 3.  This would cause my son to be in the building 5 days a week.  He has not done this since March of last year.  Immediately all the logistic that come with him being in school popped into my head and I sprang into action trying figure it all out.  There are some concerns that I have.  Growing pains to address as I have to let go more and more, but God brought me back John 16:33.   This world will have trouble.  There will be growing pains and some possible suffering, but I don't have to worry about it because I have peace in Christ Jesus. 

Jesus is not surprised by the events that occur in my life or anyone else's. He knows my troubles and fears, but He has already addressed them.  I just have to trust in Him and know that He is good and His plans for me and my son are good.  

Today's blog was intended to be a testimony and response to the reason for my hope and it still is because my hope is Christ.  Its not just when He saved me.  It's the day to day work that He does in in my life.  The peace that only He can bring.  

Father, thank You for using my everyday life events to be a reminder of  Your sovereignty, goodness, and love.  Thank You for your peace and assurance.  Thank You for the victory.  In Jesus name.  Amen
