[Job 14:1 KJV] “Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.“
Life can be full of troubles, challenges, sorrows, uncertainties, and tough decisions; but even amidst hardship, the Lord counsels us to be patient, stablish our hearts, strong and courageous.
“Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.”
“Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy”. (James 5:8-11 KJV)
“Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” Joshua 1:9
We all have need of patience, endurance, stability, courage, and strength. These are qualities we need to live life by faith! The Bible teaches that “blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him”. (James 1:12 KJV)
Don’t be dismayed nor discouraged! You have need of confidence, it has a great recompence of reward! May the Lord help you to stay in faith and stay strong. Don’t lose heart, be not discouraged. Keep fighting the good fight of faith, you are a gallant solider. There is a crown reserved for you; that is why I have not stopped praying for you. You may win if you don’t stop fighting forward! Keep fighting; don’t stop! You are a champion!
“For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;”
“strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:” (Colossians 1:9-14 KJV)
Stay blessed!
