Parents try to warn their children about dangers ahead, but youth is often deaf to sound advice. At the time, it seems that the words of wisdom that come from our parents are old and foggy from a bygone generation.
Mothers, for example, often try to warn children the world is unforgiving and owes them nothing.
They also try to tell us that days will come when they will be disappointed and will experience failure.
Mothers also try to tell their children that the days will come when the things we enjoy will bring us frustration and trouble.
They try to warn us about betrayal, lost love, and disillusionment.
They also tell us that to pray for strength for the days ahead. They remind us never to give up and stay close to the Lord.
Even our present struggle was predicted; mama told us there would be days like this. And because she told us, we now know what to do.
What she said is what Jesus said in John 16:33 “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.”
We can recall all of the great things mama told us for days like this. She warned us about the trouble, but she kept saying that trouble don’t last always.
Keep your hand in God’s hand and you will overcome.
Jesus said, “I have overcome the world” and so will you.
