They encouraged them to continue in the faith, reminding them that we must suffer many hardships to enter the Kingdom of God.” Acts 14:22
All of us suffer hardships. We are attacked by sickness, disease, loss of loved ones, made fun of because of our faith in Jesus, and severely persecuted for the Christian views we have. Evil things seem to happen to good God loving people just as they happen to those who are unbelievers. Our Lord did not promise that our journey in this world would be without problems. As a matter of fact, he not only warns of evil attacks but displays it in the lives of all of his prophets, disciples, and many followers. And even Jesus, as he walked this earth, confronted the devil himself, faced evil attacks and even a horrible death. The difference is that we have a light at the end of the tunnel. We have been given a snapshot at everlasting life with our Lord in heaven. I believe that there is a purpose for everything we go through. I believe that our Lord uses our circumstances to help others and to answer prayers for others. We all have a purpose on this earth, and it is so important that our faith in our Lord Jesus stays strong that there is nothing the devil and his evil demons can do to distract what our focus should be. Our Lord has provided us with the tools that we need to overtake what attacks us. We must, however, stay the course, stay focused on his Word, pray often and meditate upon his word. We will be encouraged by the strength our Lord has given us. Keep building your faith and never lose sight of what you stand for. Jesus loves us as we should love him! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
