“My life is an example to many, because you have been my strength and protection.” Psalm 71:7
” There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear.” 1 John 4:18
It matters not whether you are living a life of riches or whether or you live in poverty. It makes no difference whether you are 100% healthy or if you are deathly sick. Our lives are an open book. Those around us, whether they are close family, friends or casual observers of this world are constantly watching us. We are to keep our focus on Jesus and nothing else. It is not the easy thing to do. When we are doing well, we have the world by the tail and can do no wrong. When we are in poverty, we often live our lives so that others will feel sorry for us. This is not what the Lord requires of us. As living pages in his book, we are to display the truths that have been written within our hearts. As we do the work the Lord has sent us to do, we must stay focused and committed to our assignment. Jesus was not swayed when things got tough. Instead, he surged forward with complete trust in his Father in heaven. We have one goal and one goal only, and that is to be loving and truthful testimonies on behalf of Jesus. We must stay watchful and stay prepared. We are to love so much that we are to live our lives for those around us and not to for the fulfillment of our own needs. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
