In my Scripture saturation time this morning, several passages penetrated my being from various directions. Finally, i am pondering these words from Revelation 13…
“If anyone has an ear, let him hear. If anyone is destined for captivity, he will go into captivity; if anyone kills with a sword, he must be killed with a sword. Here is [the call for] the patient endurance and the faithfulness of the saints [which is seen in the response of God’s people to difficult times].” Revelation 13:9-10 AMP
These days seem to be overflowing with hard times that could surely be related to end times. Nevertheless, i am comforted in knowing that my part is to patiently endure and to remain faithful. And because Jesus is present, i am not alone in performing this…
“For it is [not your strength, but it is] God who is effectively at work in you, both to will and to work [that is, strengthening, energizing, and creating in you the longing and the ability to fulfill your purpose] for His good pleasure.”Philippians 2:13 AMP
With gladness.
