Endure now for a better tomorrow

Life is not an easy one, no matter where we come from, no matter how happy we look from the outside. We might find that trouble always comes and seeks us. We might think that we are always trap in a dilemma or always in a bad hair day. Moreover, we are Christians, juggling between work, school and committing to our Christian life. Life gets worse. But brothers and sisters, will these be the reasons for you to walk away from God? Will these be the full-stop in your relationship with God? Will you allow Satan to use these against you? Endure now, brothers and sisters, for our Lord Jesus is coming. "Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay everyone for what he has done." ~ Revelation 22:12 (ESV)
Brothers and sisters, let us encourage one another to endure through the hard times, especially during this time with assignments due and exams. Let us have the conviction to live for God and "Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life." ~ Proverbs 4:23 (ESV). Let us continue to put our trust in God and solidify that trust. Let us study and work with the mission of glorifying His name and not just for the sake of passing or pleasing our boss. "For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised." ~ 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 (ESV).

"Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him;

          I will protect him, because he knows my name.

When he calls to me, I will answer him;

          I will be with him in trouble;

          I will rescue him and honor him.

With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation."

~ Psalms 91:14-16 (ESV)

These are the promises of the Lord. So brothers and sisters, let us hold these to our hearts for He loves us and will never forsake us. Your day is not as bad as you think =)
