A reminder for
today
Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be
ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. (1 Peter 4:16)
How are you, my friend? Yesterday when I got home we had no
power and we still do not have any power in our home. I went to train last
night and injured my knee – again. So, you can imagine the frustration. The
Lord took this moment to remind me that when we suffer we are on the right
path. The enemy is not concerned with the lost, but he focusses his wrath on
those of us that is set for heaven.
The enemy does not want us to have a nice relaxing life
following Jesus. He will do anything in his power to try and break us and
separate us from Jesus. This is how it is. As a Christian we will face many
trials and tribulations in our journey as we pass through this world. Jesus
said that we must not be surprised when we suffer for He suffered before us and
for us.
So, if those dark clouds lie heavy on your horizon and the
storms are coming, rejoice for it is great when we face difficulties because we
are Christians. It is in these challenges that we get closer to God and we get
stronger against the enemy so that in the end he will never have any power over
us.
Therefore, come with me today as we rejoice in our challenges
and watch as God clears the storms and carry us through. Just as He calmed the
storm He will calm the demonic storms in our lives and destroy the enemy so
that we will live with Him forever in eternity.
Lord, we rejoice in your name even as we walk through
difficult times for we know that your rod and your staff comfort us. In Jesus
name.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
