It is very hard to let the light of Jesus shine through us when we feel troubled. And there are so many troubles in this world at the moment, it is hard to see the goodness around us.
This is why it is so important to turn to GOD. Paul was so good at pointing out that although he was troubled on all fronts, he was not distressed. He was perplexed but not in despair. He was persecuted but did not feel abandoned by GOD. He was cast down but not destroyed.
Why was this?
Simple. He knew that Jesus overcame the world through His death on the cross. Therefore Paul knew that eternally he was going to spend the time in Heaven with Jesus.
That is our hope. Our hope is only in Jesus. Not in the things of this world.
This is why it is so important now, in these dark times, to keep our eyes on the prize of eternity with Jesus.
Prayer: ABBA FATHER, I am so thankful that I can shine the light of Jesus in this ever darkening world. I thank YOU that I see the signs that Jesus is coming to fetch us soon. I thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay faithfully GOD blessed today!
