Today’s Scripture: Matthew 24:13 ESV: But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
Full disclosure time; I have never been more filled with the love and peace of God. However, my worldly existence from a worldly perspective is in distress. I have never felt more prosperous in my life yet from a worldly perspective I have never been closer to bankruptcy.
I have never been closer to God and His love yet the love of others has grown cold. As I read these verses today and write these words to you I am even more committed to endure. I am emboldened to live this ministry the Holy Spirit has given me.
In these verses, Jesus warns us to not be led astray. I feel all of these attacks are purposed to lead me astray. I am actually empowered and encouraged by these seemingly insurmountable trials. I am enduring and continuing to proclaim this gospel of the Kingdom.
I will trust God to the end; will you?
Today’s Prayer: Father God, I praise Your name and thank You for the teachings of Jesus. I trust You LORD. I am receiving tribulations that I know You are fully aware. I am crying out for Your help. I am also trusting in You as I endure to the end. I pray for Your blessings, so I may provide for the needs of my family and to give to them as Jesus. I know You are here in this wilderness and I am trusting in Your power and Glory. All glory is Yours. Amen
