The verse before this one says that we need to “take hold of hope”…to hold fast to our faith and confidence especially when times get tough. This confidence we have is the foundation that we can rely on. This ” soul certainty” will not waver when darkness falls around us…it is unmovable…unshakable… it’s that unfailing trust in God that will see us through anything.

John 16:33 ” I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
Only Jesus could use the Hebrew word for “take heart” with total certainty and confidence. Only He could assure us that sin and death were conquered once for all. For that Hebrew word for “take heart” literally means to celebrate! Jesus says to us, “Yes, you will have hardships in your life, but celebrate, for I am victorious over all.”
