“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”
James 1:2-4 NIV
When the world knocks you down, don’t stay down. Get up, stand up by faith. God has told us we will be persecuted for following Jesus. We should expect it…don’t quit praying, don’t quit sharing and trusting in the Lord.
He is working even when we can’t see it. Be strong and courageous and push on…we know that Jesus Christ has already won victory for us. Persevere, don’t give up, let your faith be greater than your fear!
“Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.”
Romans 12:11-12 NIV
