” But it is no shame to suffer for being a Christian. Praise God for the privilege of being called by his name.” 1 Peter 4:16
In the world today there many things for us to be thankful for. We see accomplishments all of the time of those who make discoveries or invent something new or do great things at their workplace. But when it comes to the most important thing that we can be thankful for, being a follower of Christ, we become criticized for it. Over the years, being a Christian has meant being weak or one who has no common sense for believing in things we cannot see. As time has gone by, criticizing Christians has not gone away. Our God made it clear that our lifestyle as a follower of Christ would not be an easy one. In today’s world the assault upon the name of Jesus, and those who follow him, has taken even larger steps forward. Christians all over the world continue, as those in the past, to be persecuted. Churches have been burned, and followers have been murdered. With more intensity, persecution is now out in the open for all to see. However, we are told that we should stand tall and be prepared. Our faith must be strong and our trust in Him should be without hesitation. He has given us the Holy Spirit for strength, guidance and wisdom. We must stand true and fast right now, because our Lord is returning soon. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
