Finding Hope in Times of Persecution

by

During times of trial and persecution, finding hope can be elusive. You trust God and desire to persevere, but discouragement is bound to set in. When these times come, never forget God is able to restore all things. His grace is sufficient for you (2 Corinthians 12:9). Throughout the Word of God, we see the Lord’s care and provision for those who claim Him as their King.

Isaiah 41:10 says, “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” This is the same God, the unchanging God, who is with you no matter what you might be experiencing. He is your strength, and He is your hope.

Never Alone

by

Much of persecution aims to make us feel isolated and alone. God designed us to live in community with Him and one another, so being ostracized can cause great stress for most people. That is why going with the crowd rarely leads to any persecution. So long as you are in the flow, the world will readily accept you and you’ll be relatively safe.

As soon as you swim against the tide, however, you can easily feel like you are the only person fighting the battle. Isolation is mentally wearing on us, and those who would persecute you will do everything to exploit this. The good news is that in Christ, we are never alone. That’s not some spiritual triteness, it is a Biblical certainty in which we can find comfort, rest, peace, and hope.

All We Need

by

Jesus is all we need. If we have Jesus, nothing else matters. Everything we work for in this life is going to go away. Nothing lasts except the eternal grace and love of Christ. The moment we try to find peace, joy, and rest anywhere other than Jesus is the moment we will become frustrated and angry.

The world can and does offer a plethora of attractive options in which we can imbibe, but only Jesus satisfies. If you have Jesus, everything you need and desire is already within you. It’s time we stopped looking outside to find contentment and begin focusing on the Savior within our hearts.

I Need Jesus

by

There’s not a day that goes by without the realization that I need Jesus. The older I get, the more obvious it becomes. How anyone gets through life without Christ is a mystery to me. Where is their source of hope? What is their anchor in the storms of life? I cannot comprehend how anyone deals with the tragedies and disappointments of life without Jesus.

If you know Jesus, I’m certain you find this to be true in your life as well. There simply is no life without Christ. No matter how good you think your life is, it can never be as good as the worst day with Jesus in your life. The reason is the love of Jesus is everlasting. It will never fade like all the pleasures in this world do.

Absolute Truth

by

There is absolute truth in the world. Somehow, this has become a controversial statement. I read a recent survey of college students that revealed 75% of them did not believe there was such a thing as truth. No wonder our world is in a death spiral! Two plus two will always equal four, and gravity will always cause something dropped to fall to the ground.

There is an absolute truth that is not open to debate or interpretation. It is this way because the God of all truth created it to be this way. In a day where disinformation and “fake news” are the buzzwords of choice, it’s difficult to know who we can trust and who we can’t. The Word of God has always proven trustworthy, and it always will.
