Why should I feel discouraged?
Why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart be lonely
And long for heav’n and home,
When Jesus is my portion?
My constant Friend is He:
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me;
5For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. 6For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2Cor5
Let me describe for you a worthless...wicked man—first, he's a constant liar; he signals his true intentions to his friends with eyes/feet/fingers. He's always thinking up new schemes to swindle people. He stirs up trouble everywhere. But he'll be destroyed suddenly—Prov6:12-15
During those dark times it was not safe to travel. Problems troubled the people of every land. Nation fought against nation...city against city, for God was troubling them with every kind of problem...as for you, be strong and courageous for your work will be rewarded—2Chr15:5-7
Day 154 of 365
We have become a taunt to our neighbors, mocked and derided by those around us—Ps 79:4
Jesus experienced hatred, mocking, insults, etc... So will those in HIM. Just let it not be for disobedience to HIM. Whatever the reason—patiently pray/hope/trust in HIS mercy.
Day 153 of 365.
I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one—John 15:17
