No defeat exists in Christ! In tough times, don't retreat. Entreat the Lord instead!
When thinking about the future, don't forget to include our loving, holy, good God. No defeat exists in Christ! Don't retreat. Entreat the Lord instead. With Him, better days remain ahead for everyone who knows Him. His victory remains secure.
Instead of shutting down when times are hard, open yourself up to God and His opportunities. Let the authenticity of your faith in Christ shine and vividly contrast with the darkness of the times. Stay present. Entreat the Lord but don't retreat. Keep sharing the truth with love and grace.
No matter the times, He always enables us to do what He's called us to do as we love Him and neighbor. No one can silence the Good News. Hallelujah! Keep a vertical perspective and focus on Him while overcoming evil with good. In Christ, we are free. And, with His help, we can share and spread freedom at the deepest level. Heart changes matter the most. And nothing is impossible with our unchanging, loving, sovereign Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. Look up to Him!
Daniel 12:3 says, "And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever."
And Matthew 5:16 reminds us of this: "In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."
Keep shining. Keep loving. Keep sharing. Entreat the Lord but don't retreat. He is still good and doing good things. No one can silence God's voice. Hope in Him! And never give up while looking up!
Take God's Word to heart: "...that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light" (I Peter 2:9).
