Enduring?
Wherefore does the
way of the wicked prosper? The question is
observed today as then… those that do evil appear to be prospering and
doing well. Yet God questions those in Christ; what have I created you
for; to love neither the world nor the things of the world but to be
with me now and forever… endure. If you run with the
foot solders and they weary you, Are you weary? The example of faithfulness is getting blurred by
the encroaching world only because we have our eyes on it and reexamine
its benefits, maybe even lust a little. Yes it is difficult to follow and yes we grow weary
but brace yourselves… it will get worse. First we need to pray more then we ever have. The most important step today is relationship… to Jesus and to each other… two or more… those who do not build with me, build against me. Prayer helps us in relationship to God and to others… We need to build and be built-in the love of Jesus with others. We shall not endure alone… Jesus did not come for us to be alone with Him… He called 12, although the number is significant; it is in relationship to them together that He came as a man. As a person He came to gather men to Him developing relationship not just to Him but because of Him, to each other. To demonstrate the fullness of family based on a loving “Father” that we are the children of God. Jesus being a son, as are we, in Him… in His love. The 12 are the foundation to be built upon. They are the result of the loving expression of God through Jesus to man. How shall we endure? Jesus asks “will I find faith…” will we be seeking to hear His voice and obey right to the end. Will we tire, will we wax cold, void of love, will we succumb to the wooing of the world, will we quit and just give up or will we remain faithful; having stumbled and fallen but getting up again and being helped up and helping others up, to stand together on the last day? So if your tired and weary today… consider what’s
to come and brace yourself with others in prayer and in serving;
together in relationship, if all hell breaks loose and it will, united
in His love we shall face it all and overcome it all. Have loving relationship… build relationship by sharing relationship… starting with Jesus...
