TRUSTING IN GOD IN TIME OF DIFFICULTIES.
CHILDREN OF COVENANT:
KNOWING THE GOD WE ARE SERVING IS THE BEDROCK OF OBEDIENCE AND LOYALTY. [DANIEL, 3: 1-28]
OUR INDIVIDUAL FAITH IN THE LORD WILL BE FREQUENTLY TESTED BY NO ONE ELSE THAN SATAN.
[PETER, 1: 3-7] – “BLESSED BE THE GOD AND FATHER OF OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST, WHO ACCORDING TO HIS ABUNDANT MERCY HAS BEGOTTEN US AGAIN TO A LIVING HOPE THROUGH THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST. FROM THE DEAD TO AN INHERITENCE, INCORRUPTABLE AND UNDEFILED BEING THAT DOES NOT FADE AWAY. RESERVED IN HEAVEN FOR YOU, WHO ARE KEPT BY THE POWER OF GOD THROUGH FAITH FOR SALVATION, READY TO BE REVEALED IN THE LAST TIME IN THIS YOU GREATLY REJOICE THOUGH NOW FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
IF NEED BE, YOU HAVE BEEN GRIEVED BY VARIOUS TRIALS THAT THE GENUINESS, OF YOUR FAITH HAS BEEN MUCH MORE PRECIOUS THAN GOLD THAT PERISHES THOUGH IT IS TESTED BY FIRE, MAY BE FOUND TO PRAISE, HONOR, AND GLORY AT THE REVELATION OF CHRIST JESUS.”
IN CONCLUSION: “MY BRETHEN, COUNT IT ALL JOY WHEN YE FALL INTO DIVERS TEMPTATION. KNOWING THIS THAT THE TRYING OF YOUR FAITH WORKETH PATIENCE.” [JAMES, 1: 2-3]
PLEASE LET US HOLD ON TO OUR FAITH IN THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS OR CIRCUMSTANCES.
