Remember that we are assured of being richly rewarded for staying confident in our faith. We will receive what He has promised us when we persevere and continue to do the will of God. So as much as the Bible makes clear that life was never going to be easy, God’s Word is just as clear that there is a happy ending for those who endure persecution and suffering:

• Job 36:15 “Those who suffer, He delivers in their suffering; He speaks to them in their affliction.”
• Matt 5:10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted.” [A state of being]
• Rom 5:3-4 “We rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance,…”
• Rom 8:17(b) “We share in His sufferings in order that we may also share in His glory.”
• James 1:4 “Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”
• James 1:12 “Blessed is the man who perseveres
• James 5:11 “We consider blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about.

The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.”All of us can live by faith in times of great discouragement and difficulty by following the writer’s recommendations:

1. Remember past difficult experiences you’ve had when God proved Himself faithful.
2. Don’t throw away your confidence in Christ.
3. Persevere during the hard times to do God’s will so that you’ll receive what He has promised.
4. My righteous ones will live by faith.

You are spiritually debt free! Christ’s once-for-all sacrifice removed our sins permanently. Are we living freely to serve Christ who bought us at a great price? Do we understand that our life is not our own and that the only reason we’re here is to serve God with the purpose He’s given us?

Ask the Lord to show you daily what His will is for you.
