A
reminder for today
“But
as for you, be strong and courageous, for your work will be rewarded." (2
Chronicles 15:7)
I find myself this morning in a place where I realise
once more that living in the kingdom of God is not an easy task. Carrying His
Word and living a life that honours His name is difficult. People have this way
of making things harder at times and I guess our own inability to remain
focussed on the Lord and His voice can have negative results.
We could often feel that we are fighting a lost cause and
that people so easily accept the side of darkness and rarely seek God’s way. Our
own self is the cause of so many problems and issues in our lives and our selfishness
can break down relationships and cause unnecessary pain.
I think that most of our issues are purely because we are
too proud and too selfish in situations and often will not accept that we could
be wrong or that we are wrong. I am thinking about Jesus and how He humbled
Himself and became human so that He could give us what we could not achieve by ourselves.
How much more should we humble ourselves for the kingdom of God so that we can
show the light or be the light in dark situations or among those that find it
difficult to see the light and change their ways.
The Holy Spirit is telling you and me today that we
should be strong and courageous, because even though it might feel that you are
fighting an endless fight, your work will be rewarded. Hearts will change and
walls will crumble. Nothing is impossible for the Lord and He will break the
barriers and set the captive hearts free.
Don’t give up!
Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
