Good morning all,
The word of the day is "scabrous.” Well, no one ever
said it was going to be easy. A life lived with Jesus is not necessarily going
to be a cakewalk. In fact, I remember the day I accepted Christ when my mentor
told me that I just used my last get out of jail free card. It was kind of
funny, but at the same time sobering. I realized that from that day on I was to
live a life for Christ. The Bible talks about difficulties, trials, and tribulations
throughout. And, at the end we see yet another verse that reminds us that we
must continue on with fervor.
“I am coming soon. Hold
fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown.”
~Rev. 3:11
My question is: are you hanging onto the hope that is in
Christ? I know that oftentimes we feel like giving up and see that others are
living in a way that is not pleasing to God. And then you think yourself, why
in the heck am I trying so hard? This verse and passage right here gives us the
precise answer. You have been given a crown that you will wear one day with
your Savior. But, you must also remember that this world is not the end game,
but only a passing and fleeting moment. So as you remember that this life is
scabrous, or full of difficulties, you can always know that in the end it will
all be worth it. My prayer for you is that you hold onto this hope, and that no
one takes the crown you have attained through belief in Christ.
Praying for you,
Mo
