“What Can We Do About This?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. “II Timothy 2:3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God tells us to endure life’s hardships. Amid this, true believers seek to reach the unsaved and be a blessing to others. Remember, we too were once part of the devil’s gang and Christ saved us from that snake pit! Opposition lurks on every side. Some are hounded by a wicked neighbor, oppressive bosses, shameful children, killing debt, ill health, guilt, a nagging wife or a dumb-head husband. We accept the fact that most of life’s sorrows will not end until we enter Heaven. Grace to bear them is plenteous until then. Therefore, we trust God’s Word, walk with the Holy Spirit, breathe prayer and love Jesus supremely. If invisible Covid-19 shuts your church down, have one in your house\u2014that’s how this started anyhow. It still operates like this in hard-line Muslim, pagan and oppressive lands. Be of good cheer, down the road we’ll look back on the plague’s past, packed emergency rooms, dead tired medical workers and the graves of its victims; then we’ll understand that God may tear things up, to put them back together the right way! Often, genuine Christians also feel the pain of this tearing and turmoil. If God wants to tear me up, I will help Him, for He is too good to do bad. II Corinthians 12:10 is a good, tough place to live! May we camp at the cross and await our deliverance! \u2014 R.P. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
