To the saint their hope is that Father God will protect them from adversity and bring them joy and peace. Jesus said "In this world there will be tribulation." So what does this mean? God's promise is not to deliver us from adversity, but to deliver us out of advarsity. The Holy Spirit indwells the believer so that when trouble comes they may over come the enemy. It is important to be an overcomer because with every triumph over your circumstances comes spiritual strength. This is why the demon's named Legion say " I know Jesus and I know Paul, but who are you?" In effect they say that Jesus and Paul have spiritual strength, but until you over come the enemy by depending on the Holy Spirit, you will be a target of adversity. Never try to overcome the enemy in the flesh. Instead, depend on the Holy Spirit who is greater than he who is in the world.
Daily Prayer: Lord Jesus, help us to know the Holy Spirit and not hamper His work. Instead, help us yield to Him so that when trouble comes, we can be delivered out of it. In Your Name we pray Amen.
