Perhaps you have received an evil report concerning your health, finances, loved ones, job, etc. This is not the time to panic and become hysterical. Instead it’s a great opportunity to seek God’s Word concerning the situation and the resolution. It’s also a great time to make positive, biblical based confessions concerning the situation.

“This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.”

That’s how we should look at every situation. That it is for God’s glory so that Christ may be glorified through it.

Jesus said we should fear not and we should have peace. In this world we will have numerous trials and tribulations but He has already overcome them for our sake (John 16:33).

We already know how the situation with Lazarus turned out.

Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?” (John 11:40).

Just as surely as Lazarus was raised from the Lord, we have assurance that if we believe and have faith as little as a mustard seed, all things are possible to those who believes (Mark 10:27).

We can hold fast (tightly, unswervingly) to our hope [in God] because He who promised is reliable and trustworthy and faithful (Hebrews 10:23).
