Day 33 — “I Have Told You These Things”
📖 “But these things I have told you, that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them.”
—John 16:4a (NKJV)
Jesus never promised a smooth path, but He always promised the truth.
In John 16, He tells the disciples in advance about the hardship they’ll face. Why?
Because when it happens, they’ll remember—He told them.
It’s a gift to be warned. It prepares us to endure. It helps us trust.
As a woman walking with Christ, you may face seasons where faithfulness brings rejection, loss, or confusion.
But Jesus has already spoken to that.
He has told you these things so that when the time comes, you’ll stand—not in fear or surprise, but with quiet confidence that none of this is taking Him by surprise.
He is with you.
And He is never unprepared.
Reflection Questions:
- What trials are you walking through right now that Jesus has already prepared you for in His Word?
- How does remembering His words help you stay grounded?
Prayer:
Jesus, thank You for telling me the truth—even the hard parts. Remind me, when trouble comes, that You saw it all ahead of time. Strengthen my heart to stand firm and to trust Your voice above all others. Amen.
