HAVE FAITH
On a
daily basis, the news media bombards us with horrific images of global,
national and local tragedy. Because of
this, it is easy to develop a negative or cynical view of life. We have witnessed far too many distressing
and violent examples of man’s inhumanity to man. These terrible incidents now take place in what
we have always regarded as ‘safe’ places: schools, shopping malls, office
buildings and even places of worship.
Indeed, these are powerful signs (Matthew 24 signs) of the end-time
season in which we live.
My singular
goal today is to encourage you to hold on tenaciously to your faith. In spite of what you see, have faith in
God. God is still sovereign. God is still on the throne.
In
the midst of life’s most puzzling and perplexing moments, it is best for us to
reflect on the profound wisdom that Jesus shared with his disciples during troubling
times: “And Jesus answering said unto them, Have faith in God.” (Mark 11:22)
Regardless
of your present situation, know that God
has your back! So be encouraged. Be joyful.
Joy is the simple assurance that Christ
is at the center of all your circumstances.
Pastor
Shirley Caesar recorded an encouraging word-in-song that speaks directly to your
situation:
You
can make it…
You
can make it…
This
trial that you’re going through,
God’s
gonna show you just what to do.
You
can make it…
You
can make it…
I
don’t care what’s going wrong,
God
won’t let it last too long…
You’re
not in this thing alone…
You
can make it!
Be encouraged.
Have faith in The Almighty and
Sovereign God, because with His help and His strength, we certainly can
and we definitely will…make it. Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed!
