I want to encourage you today, despite whatever you're going through or facing, to keep on going. Keep on keepin' on.
God is with us and will "never leave us or forsake us," and always knows and cares what we are individually going through.
Hebrews 13:5b. NIV
[5b.]... because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.
No matter what comes in our lives, we can trust God to always be there for us. He will "rescue us, protect us, and be with us in trouble."
Psalms 91:14-16 NIV
[14] “Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. [15] He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. [16] With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”
He watches each of our individual "comings and goings."
Psalms 121:7-8 NIV
[7] The Lord will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; [8] the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
He cares for us.
1 Peter 5:7 NIV
[7] Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
By our faith and trust in Him, we are shielded by God's power until we receive our inheritance in heaven, and we are receiving the end result of our faith, the salvation of our souls.
1 Peter 1:3-9 NIV
[3] Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, [4] and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, [5] who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
[6] In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. [7] These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. [8] Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, [9] for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
No matter what happens, He will protect us from the devil.
2 Thessalonians 3:3 NIV
[3] But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.
He is always on our side, always for us, and nothing will separate us from His love.
Romans 8:31-39 NIV
[31] What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? [32] He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? [33] Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. [34] Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. [35] Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? [36] As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” [37] No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. [38] For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, [39] neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Remember that ALL Christians are enduring the same kinds of sufferings in the world. We're all in this together:
1 Peter 5:6-9 NIV [6] Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. [7] Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. [8] Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. [9] Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
So, whatever life or people or circumstances throws at us, we are God's children and He will protect and take care of us as we trust in Him. So keep on keepin' on my friends. God is with us!
