It seems that someone is always out to get someone else, especially if you're a Christian. Now, Christians are not perfect, they sin, they make mistakes, they do wrong things, they make people angry. But, if you're a Christian, trying to do the right things, trying to be a good example, making a stand for something that isn't right in GOD'S eyes, folks will come against you.
When folks try to come against you for trying to do the right thing, it should come as no surprise. JESUS tells us in John 15:18 to not be surprised if the world hates us because it hated Him first. But, I'm human, as we all are, and it is difficult to see why things and people seem to rise up against Christians. However, we know Who is on our side...
Today's word is Jeremiah 1:19, NLT, which reads, "They will fight you, but they will fail. For I am with you , and I will take care of you, I, the LORD, have spoken."
Yeah, they will fight Christians, they will persecute them, they will drag them through the mud, they will put them through the wringer, BUT, they will fail. Maybe that's why they fight so hard because deep in their hearts they know how defeated they truly are. They might get a few earthly victories, they may win a few earthly battles, but the war is over - VICTORY is WON!
As long as we Christians are in this world, where satan rules, there will be oppression and opposition. Yet, we can rest safely knowing that GOD is with us and will take care of us. They may rise up against us and try to tear us down - but, in the end, they will lose. Let's pray that GOD will touch all their hearts too so that no one has to lose.
Be Blessed,
