HOLD ON TO YOUR FAITH
The news media bombards us daily with horrific images of global,
national and local tragedy. Because of this, it is relatively easy to embrace
a negative or cynical view of life. We have witnessed far too many
distressing and disastrous examples of man’s inhumanity to man. These
terrible incidents now occur in what we have always regarded as ‘safe’ places:
schools, shopping malls, office buildings and even places of worship.
Indeed, these are prophetic 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. Despite what you see or hear, have faith in God. God
is sovereign. God is still on the throne.
During life’s most puzzling and perplexing moments, it behooves 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 circumstance, know that God has your back! So be
encouraged. Be joyful. Joy is the simple assurance that Christ is always at the center of
all your circumstances.
Pastor Shirley Caesar recorded an encouraging word-in-song that
speaks assurance to you:
You can make it…
You can make it…
This trial that you’re going through,
God’s gonna’ show you 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!
My friend, be encouraged. Have
faith in THE ALMIGHTY AND
SOVEREIGN GOD, because with His help and His strength, you certainly can…and
you consistently will…make it.
