The waves keep crashing over my life and I fight to not feel deserted and overwhelmed. In Luke 9:43-45, I read ‘But while everyone marveled at all the things  which Jesus did, He said to His disciples, “Let these words sink down into your ears, for the Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men”.’

I hear. You were telling them there would soon come a time when things would not look marvelous. In fact, things would look fatal, desperate and irreparable. And I hear You say,”Remember, when it looks dark and hopeless, I am still in complete control”. Your betrayal and death would look like defeat and You warned them ahead of time so they would not lose heart. So they would be able to know-no matter how things look, You are God and have great purpose in all things.

And that is enough.
