Enduring the bad day

in #steemchurch6 years ago

Jesus made it clear that in the world we would have difficult circumstances, but he left us a promise: that being with Him we could overcome any situation, we must understand that having Jesus in our hearts, we have the best foundation for our faith, we have the hope of life. Sometimes that difficult situation may seem to have no end because of our human perception, but we must know that no situation is eternal, the only eternal is God and his Word, so these problems are temporary. The Bible does not promise us that we will not go through difficult situations, but if it promises us we will go through the fire and we will not burn ourselves. Faith is not to believe that we will not go through a difficult situation, faith is also to believe that in the middle of that difficult situation God is with us and will give us the victory; let us understand that victory in a situation does not imply the absence of falls, victory is achieved by those who persevere.

Matthew 10: 21-22: "The brother will deliver the brother to death, and the father the son; and the children will rise up against the parents, and make them die. And you will be hated by all for my name's sake; but he who endures to the end will be saved. "

Jesus clarifies that the victory will obtain those who persevere to the end in their faith, if you believe and expect something nothing can change your statement or your hope, despite what your eyes see your heart must remain firm, in the hope that this bad day has an end. That problem has an expiration date and Jesus placed it on the cross with his blood spilled.

Revelation 2:26: "To him that overcomes and keeps my works to the end, I will give him authority over the nations."

Isaiah 26: 3: "You shall keep in perfect peace him whose mind abides in you; because he has trusted in you. "

God promises to be with you, to give you authority over the nations, to give peace to your heart and to strengthen you in the midst of the trial, but it clarifies that these promises are for those who persevere to the end, so in the bad day persevere in the Word, nourish your faith, stop asking yourself when the end of that situation will come and live in the midst of the strength of your Word. Our faith will be tested and tested with fire, because there is no other way for it to grow. We all go through a bad day, we all fall, but the important thing is to understand what God wants us to learn in the midst of that situation. Before placing the golden crown, Jesus put on the thorns; Knowing this we can not pretend not to be tested. Everything that happens to man under the light of the sun are seasons, they have an end. You do not learn from success, you learn from failures.

1 Samuel 30: 1-6: "When David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had invaded the Negev and Ziklag, and had laid waste to Ziklag and set it on fire. And they had taken captive the women and all who were there, from the least to the greatest; but they had not killed anyone, but they had taken them by following their path. So David and his men came to the city, and behold, it was burnt, and their wives and their sons and daughters were taken captive. Then David and the people who were with him raised their voices and cried, until they lacked the strength to cry. The two women of David, Ahinoam jezreelita and Abigail the one who was Nabal's wife of Carmel, were also captives. David was greatly distressed, because the people spoke of stoning him, for all the people were in bitterness of soul, each one for his sons and daughters; But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God. "

Just as David went through a difficult situation and instead of surrendering to abandonment and discouragement, he decided to persevere and strengthened himself looking for the only one who could give him strength. When you are discouraged strengthen yourself in God, in those days the depression will not cause you to attend church, pray, believe, but that is the propitious time to seek more of God's presence, to recover the strength and thus not to decay in medium of the situation. The success is of those who never give up, who fall and rise again and again until they see the fulfillment of what they expect; we do not learn from success, we learn from failures and the guarantee of victory despite these falls is perseverance.

Matthew 24: 12-13,21-22: "And because evil has multiplied, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end will be saved ... for then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will be. And if those days were not shortened, no one would be saved; but for the sake of the elect, those days will be shortened. "

1 Corinthians 10:13: "No temptation has overtaken you that is not human; but God is faithful, who will not let you be tempted beyond what you can resist, but will also give with the temptation the way out, so that you can endure. "

Jesus spoke of bad days but again assured that those who persevere in the middle of those days, those who are in the middle of the dark night and even in it maintain hope, will overcome. Jesus will not allow the bad season to defeat you, to be proven more than you can bear; He promises that he will end that season because of the chosen ones. God is not going to allow that test to destroy your heart, your life or this nation, there are more forces in you than you think, you will get out of that problem, from that circumstance. Why? Because it is temporary, although the vision will take, it will arrive. Wait for the end of that situation and meanwhile strengthen yourself in God knowing that you will win because you are a son of the Most High God.

Psalm 50:15 - Invok me on the day of anguish; I will free you, and you will honor me
God knows there will be days of anguish, days of sadness, bad days in our life. He also knows that invoking him, calling him, talking to him in those days will free us from the "gray clouds" on the horizon.
