Sometimes life is hard. Difficulties arise. Challenges surface. Problems creep up on us unexpectedly. I really like it when things go smoothly and without much problems, but sometimes that is not always the case. We live in a fallen world that has been corrupted by sin.
We live in trying and difficult times. The Lord Jesus told us that in this world we will have troubles, but we must also remember that He also said that we should not let our hearts to be troubled because He over came the world.
In life troubles will come, but we don't have to give into despair because of them. We must remember where our hope lies. Our hope isn't in some world leader. Our hope isn't in a national symbol. Our hope is firmly established in the Lord Jesus Christ and what He accomplished upon the Cross for each one of us.
God loves us so very much and He showed us by sending Jesus into this world to live a perfect and sinless life. Jesus went obediently to the Cross where He died for our sins. We have all sinned and we all need a Savior and we have One in Jesus Christ. There is no other Savior out there. There is only One name under Heaven in which people must be saved by and that is the name of Jesus Christ.
We are saved by grace by coming to faith in Jesus Christ. It is through Jesus Christ that we have forgiveness of our sins and it is through Jesus Christ that we have a home in Heaven being prepared for us.
When life kicks us and knocks us around we must remember to whom we belong and trust in Him to be there for us each step on our journey. We must come to Him by faith and continue to walk by faith in Him.
Jesus is a friend that sticks closer than a brother. Even when life gets hard and difficult Jesus will never allow us to go it alone. We need to trust Him wherever He leads us.
Lord,
We pray Your Name.
Help us to cling to You when life gets hard.
Thank You for all that You provide us with.
Lead and guide our steps.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
