John 2:22
So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.
*
Even at the time of greatest discouragement, the disciples were able to latch
on to the promise Jesus left behind. This connection of the past brought forth
hope and strength to the disciples and their belief in their hearts in the
Scripture increased. This sad situation turned into a moment of revival as they meditated on the Scripture.
God sees the future but we cannot and that limits significantly what I do now.
But as our hind sight is 20/20, when what God had promised comes true my heart
can pound like crazy because God's hope settles into my heart. So the moment
when I realize that God's presence in my past merges with my present life, a
miraculous power takes place and my outlook on the future brightens up
supernaturally and also a sense of comfort & peace settle in. The Spirit also
brings clear conviction into my heart through His Word.
