"For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world:
and this is the victory that overcometh the world,
even our faith." -1 John 5:4

Boy, oh boy, were those ever some heated arguments.

I remember, when my sister and I were teenagers, we often found ourselves in some rather ugly disputes.  We could argue over just about anything.   Whether it was her turn to take out the trash or I ate some cookies that she had been saving in the refrigerator, we knocked heads on more than one occasion.  (Just for the record, we outgrew those arguments and now get along nicely :-)

During these outbursts one or both of us would end up making some kind of angry threat.  You know, one of those childish threats like, "Well, you just wait until you have some cookies in that refrigerator, I'll eat yours just like you ate mine!"

And when my sister would pour out one of those threats upon me I would  counter with...

..."We'll just see about that!"

That was my way of saying to her, "There is no way that I am ever going to let that happen." 

And that usually ended the conversation immediately.

Throughout my life I have found that I am not the only one who uses that phrase, "We'll just see about that!"  Believe it or not, I have found that the Lord Jesus Himself often conveys that same expression in various ways...

Consider the time that the doctors told me that I would be unable to father a child.  "We'll just see about that," I could almost hear the Lord say.  My wife is only days away from delivering our first child.

What about when almost everyone wrote off my grandfather as one who would never be saved and end up dying and going to hell.  "We'll just see about that," you could just sense Christ Jesus was countering.  At age 84, just 3 months before he passed away, my grandfather was gloriously saved!

And then there are those times each day of my life that satan attempts to entice me into sin.  His thinking?  "I'll tempt Jimmy into disobeying God's instructions."  "We'll just see about that!"  The Lord warns me and empowers me through His Holy Spirit to overcome the tempter.

Oh, there are countless times that the Lord has used this expression in my life.  Whether it was the time that I thought I would be unable to pay my electric bill, or the health problem that seemed to be on its way to taking its toll - over and over Jesus comes in and says, "We'll just see about that!"

Christian what kind of situation are you facing today that has your back against the wall?  Is there some hardship or difficulty that is screaming out threats at you right now?  Perhaps some situation is testing your faith.  Or, maybe the devil has threatened to steal your joy and peace. 

The Lord has a message for that old rascal as he tries to wreak havoc in your life...

..."We'll just see about that!"

Have a "Wonderful DAY in Christ,"
