DB - Sunday 22nd February 2009 - Choosing The Hard Thing
We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair. - 2 Corinthians 4:8
A Christian can rise and stay up in any occasion when the Lord Jesus lives in the heart. Any action under our Lord's guidance would come with wisdom and perfection. His Holy Spirit would encourage our actions based on the properties of love, understanding and patience. A cheerful person gives cheerfully and is never in sadness even when disadvantaged. The reason is that he sees every thing on the positive side and focus his thoughts on our Lord Jesus.
Jesus came to save us and lift us up when we are down. His comfort is what we need during this time of financial and economic difficulties. We know that though we are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed. We can be assured that even with hardship and temporary trouble, we shall never become discouraged because of God's grace. For we fix our attention, not on the things that are seen, but on things that are unseen. What can be seen lasts only for a time, but what cannot be seen lasts for ever.
Brothers and Sisters in Christ, do not be in despair. The harder the journey, the more satisfaction we will get when we finally reached our destination. Be patient and take the hard road with prayer and thanksgiving. Christ is with us and He will remove all stumbling blocks along the way. Do not take the easy way out, for nothing is impossible in the Name of Jesus.
Jesus gave His all to save us - are we giving our all to serve Him?
