Bible Verse of The Day – 12-10-22

2 Timothy 2:3 (NKJV) 3 You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

Hard times will cause our hearts to grow hard if we don’t remember God’s precious love and what He has done for us.

If it causes us to forget Him and reject His help, we will just get harder, colder and more withdrawn.

Going through any kind of deep loss will cause pain in our hearts. And if we are not careful to lean on Him to help us through it, the effects from it will rob us of our joy and the strength that we need to survive.

It will soak up our every last thought, and it will muddy up our vision to the point where we can’t see the good in anything.

Between hard times and losses we can fall very easily into a bad place, even as believers.

God knows what it can do to our walk if we are not grounded in Him. It can leave us feeling very weak in times of hardship, wanting to turn away and give up on everything and everyone.

Know that in such battles, such hard changes, there is only One who can save us and keep us from drowning.

There is only One who can keep us moving forward. One who can bring healing and comfort. If we turn away from Him, our Rock, we will not make it.

But if we surrender up our worries, pain, hurt, sorrow and loneliness, we will surely come through it all!

And we will be stronger than we can ever imagine. With testimonies to share to bring encouragement that will help others through their own struggles.

Let us not allow our hurt and hardships to break us, but let them make us even stronger! March on, good soldier of Jesus Christ.

Amen.
