When I have moments of despair, it is difficult for me to acknowledge what I know to be true. Nowadays, with one catastrophe after the next, one scandal, one mass murder, one police brutality, and oh yes, sin, sin, sin, it is easy to lose focus on what is important. What is important in this life is serving God through serving His people.

It is easy to get on a pity pot, a rampage about all the injustice in this world; however, we should focus on our personal journey and how we expect to end that journey on earth.

It brings me comfort when I think of others who have crossed from death into eternity and encourages me to keep up the good fight, and keep living for Jesus so that I, too, can inherit eternal life with Christ.

I have the assurance that if I suffer through the trials of life, I have a home not made by a man awaiting me in the great rapture of God’s people.

Yes, when “When I am faced with uncertainty or difficulty, I can take comfort by remembering the words that God has spoken to me before. The love and kindness that He revealed to me in the past are just as true today because our God is faithful and unchanging.”

Thank You, Jesus, for drawing me closer to You.

Prayer

Lord, often, I lose sight of Your love, and I fail to accept Your kindness. I fail to appreciate the struggle. Thank You for “loving me with Your everlasting love and for never abandoning me when my flesh causes me to become depressed, you never leave me, but my thoughts waver in me causing fear and doubt. Thank you for loving me anyway and “remaining with me through seasons of triumph and difficulty. Help me, Lord, to take comfort in the truth of Your unchanging love no matter what my day brings. In the matchless name of Jesus, I pray, amen.
