Life doesn't get easier as we think, You just get stronger.
IT'S SAME EVERYWHERE(1 Pet.5:9)
Take a firm stand against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your Christian brothers and sisters all over the world are going through the same kind of suffering you are(NLT).
This world is a place of challenges. No matter where we turn to, we encounter challenges. Everywhere is an haven of challenges. But we do think otherwise. The difference is just that the challenges differs from one place to another. What is not challenge here may be major challenge there. Challenges abound everywhere.
There is one thing we must know. It is where we are we know. It is your life you know. It is your country you know. It is your church you know. Those people, places, churches and lives in the outside of you cannot be fully understood. Their challenges are not known until you are there or told. If not, you'll be thinking that they are challenge free.
The latter end of today's passage is making it clear to us that everyone everywhere even brethren are having one challenge or the other like you are having. There is no perfect or challenge-free, church, marriage, workplace, country and life. If you change place, church, country or workplace, you'll only succeed in changing challenge as you can't exit challenge. Challenges are everywhere.
It is faith we need to navigate through life's challenges. It is faith we need to resist the Devil, the power and personality behind the challenges.
Stop thinking that there is a place, church, country or workplace without challenges. Challenges are everywhere only that they differ. This is one reason we will ever need faith to live because challenges to resist are everywhere we turn to. I ask God to make your anchor hold in the storm of life in Jesus' name.
Amen
Happy Sunday
