Hold On

If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small. Proverbs 24:10 [KJV]

I had a pastor once who would always warn us about hard times coming. He would say, "if you have not had hard times yet, keep living". We can interpret this many ways, but I like to look at it like the verse above. Keep the faith in the hard times for they are coming. In the age of financial crisis and worry about economy, our faith has to be in something larger than the world financial market. We should hold on to the unchanging hand of God.

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 [KJV]

God gave his only begotten son as a ransom for us here. We should realize that we are passing through here and know that our home is somewhere else. We know that we have to live here, but we can be in the world, but not of the world. When the hard times come, just remember to hold on to Christ and keep the faith. Don't be afraid, but show others the peace of God that passes all understanding. Because when we represent God well, He will represent us well in our times of adversity.

Be Encouraged,

Martin
