Day of Praise

Wed, 09/07/16, "Day of Praise"

"Jesus said, 'I have said this to you, so that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have trouble. But cheer up; I have overcome the world!'" -- John 16:33

Another workday is before us. They call it work because, well, it's work. We spend time. We spend energy. On things that need doing. Some of which are troubling. Others, well, they'll become trouble if we don't get 'em done.

It's a workday!

But there's good news in the face of any trouble and/or work that's before us! Jesus says, "Cheer up; I have overcome the world!"

Hey, y'all! When Jesus says he's overcome the world, he means the WORLD!!! He means that if it's in the world, then he's overcome it, which means that work is overcome and trouble is overcome and any combination of the above is overcome!!!

Jesus's declaration of truth and victory makes me want to sing! Maybe you know the song, "Look up and cheer up, that's the only way" with the Lyrics & tune by Harry Dixon Loes © Singspiration, 1953.

"Look up and cheer up, that's the only way.
Look up and cheer up, bright will be your day.
Just keep your eyes on Jesus, don't mind what people say.
Just look up and cheer up, that's the only way!"

Indeed, eyes on Jesus! And cheery and bright will be your day!

Try it! Really! Heartfelt eyes on Jesus, and you'll see!

"Jesus said, 'I have said this to you, so that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have trouble. But cheer up; I have overcome the world!'" -- John 16:33

Praise God!
