TOPIC: HARDSHIP WHILE WAITING
Read: Colossians 1:10-14
MEMORISE: Strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy (Colossians 1:11-12).
EXPOSITION
The pathway of faith has divine purpose, and we are to obey the Lord, no matter what. But even when God’s direction is perplexing, we can count on the fact that, He is good.
Walking obediently with Christ does not guarantee an easy life, which is obviously seen in the life of Paul. He encountered all kinds of hardships, including shipwreck, persecution, and beatings *(2 Cor. 11:23-27).* Keep I mind, that nothing can touch a child of God without the Father’s loving permission. He uses difficulty to strengthen and correct believers–and eventually as a tool in achieving His plan. Also remember that the Lord protects His followers in their sufferings, just as He kept the apostle safe in situations that seemed impossible to overcome.
Adversity can tempt us to ignore the Holy Spirit’s guidance. But we will ultimately regret such a decision, as God does not spare us from the consequences of our sins. However, He never lets go of His children, whom He continues to protect and guide throughout life. Walking in obedience and trust is the only way to true peace. As Paul in an uncomfortable Roman prison where his life was in danger, encouraged believers not to worry but trust God and pray with gratitude *(Isa. 26:3; Phil. 4:6). Doing so leads to perfect peace.
As you are stepping out this morning, the only wise way to live, is to believe in almighty God and follow wherever He leads. That is the road to contentment, fulfillment, protection, and peace. Are you journeying on the pathway of faith? Or, is something holding you back from all God intended for your life?
PRAYER POINTS
1. I pray that nothing will hold me back from God as I journey with Him. His grace will see me through the end of life, in Jesus’ name.
2. Lord, help me to stand in the position to enjoy Your perfect peace.
3. Lord, help all Christian wives going through terrible experiences in the hands of their unbelieving husbands to hold unto You despite the experiences.
EXTRA READING FOR TODAY: Ezra 10, Nehemiah 1 & Titus 3
