Stand strong through all storms

30 December

Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither…
Psalm 1:1-3

Concluding Thoughts:

  1. Ours is the Kingdom. No matter what setbacks we see or experience, in the end the Kingdom will revert to our Lord and we will reign with Him.
  2. Ours is the victory through dying and living again – victory through being able to drink the cup of evil and injustice poured out and not being consumed by it.
  3. Ours is the responsibility of caring for our suffering brethren, especially converts and those in countries more restrictive and repressive than ours.
  4. Ours is the responsibility of reaching those who still sit in darkness.
  5. Ours are the lives that should manifest purity and Christlikeness.
  6. Ours are the hearts that should be willing to pay the price to bring peace and understanding among men and between men and God. Hearts willing to be proactive. Hearts willing to stand at the end of the day and having done all, stand.
  7. Ours is the challenge to stand strong through all the storms we face and come through the fire refined and purified to walk the way of the cross before a dying world.

Response

Today I will accept the challenge to stand strong through all the storms I may face!

Prayer Points

Pray for Christians living in severe persecution areas that refined and purified, they may experience all of the victory which is available through Christ.
