As evidenced by my angry post yesterday, sometimes things come up that may shake our faith a little bit. We'll go through something that causes us to question our faith and why we believe in a God who can allow bad things to happen to good people. I guess it's just one of the trials of life. Every time we become challenged, we come out on the other side much stronger people. It's just hard to stay the course and make it through to the other side sometimes. That's when I turn to my Bible and some verses of encouragement to help me to stay the course and endure.
"But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. 21Keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life." Jude 20-21
"Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain." 1 Corinthians 15:58
"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful." Hebrews 10:23
It's during these times that we need to focus more of our energy on spending more time in His Presence. By turning to him daily in our times of need we can be refreshed and re-energized, and reminded that with God, all things are truly possible. (Luke 1:37) We will make it through, and I pray that we make it unscathed, but much stronger and ready to share the great things that God has done for us. For we know that He has our best interest at heart and knows what is best for us.
