Stand Firm!
"But before all these things happen, people will arrest you
and do bad things to you. People will judge you in their
synagogues and put you in jail. You will be forced to stand
before kings and governors. People will do all these things
to you because you follow me. But this will give you an
opportunity to tell about me. Don't worry about what you will
say. I will give you the wisdom to say things that none of
your enemies can answer. Even your parents, brothers,
relatives, and friends will turn against you. They will kill
some of you. All people will hate you because you follow me.
But none of these things can really harm you. You will save
yourselves by continuing strong in your faith through all
these things.
-- Luke 21:12-19 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
If Jesus' first point in previous verses was that the Temple would be
destroyed and that we need to invest in what is permanent, his second
point is equally important: remain firm and we will be saved!
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Holy and loving Father, please give me the strength I need to stand
firm in my faith no matter what outward circumstances may surround me.
In Jesus' name. Amen.
