Hey everyone! I hope you’re doing well today. I just wanted to come on here and share something that encouraged me so much this morning and that is that you’ve got this. I know at any point in our lives, we can encounter struggles we can be going through. Things we can be saying, such as, did I miss it? Did I not hear from God? Did I make a mistake? I just want to encourage you that you need to keep going, and you got this.
- In Philippians 1:6, it says,” Being confident of this very thing that he who has begun a good work in you will complete it.”
You have to remember that sometimes the journey is not always the easy route. We may not always be the simplest or the most direct, but as long as we are listening and being being obedient to God, He’s got you and He will complete the thing that he started in you. He did not bring you this far to leave you, and we have to always remember that He’s not only the author, but He’s the finisher. And so even when things look uncertain or the outcome of a situation is unknown, we have to keep Faith. So I want to encourage somebody with that today. Are you keeping faith? Are you keeping God at the Forefront of all that you’re doing right now, and allowing him to continue to work through your situation. Maybe you’re saying,” My life’s great right now. Everything’s good. This whole thing in the world right now that’s going on doesn’t really even affect me. “ If that’s you, that’s great! We all have seasons where things are peaceful, and things are going really well. We can look at it and say, “Life’s good. ” If that’s where you’re at right now, praise God! However, you also have a job where you can help by encouraging. Urging someone, because I guarantee you can encourage somebody who’s going through a difficult time.
- In first Thessalonians, 5:11 it says, ” Encourage one another and build each other up.”
That was actually Paul talking to the Church of Thessalonica in Greece. At the time, he was speaking to them encouraging them about the returning of Christ. It’s an amazing passage, and I encourage you to read. I encourage you to read the section of the Bible in those passages where it talks about when Christ will return to us. It says that things will seem peaceful and will seem calm, then out of nowhere will be like labor pains coming on for a pregnant woman. There will sometimes be suffering, whatever you might be feeling in that moment. I’m sure I have many friends on here that have gone through something, or are going through something, and it might seem like all is well in the world, then out of nowhere the labor pain happens and you don’t know what to do. We can go through life, and in those ups and downs at different times. However, as long as we keep the faith, and we do what Christ in the Bible says, we got this. So I just want to encourage you with that today. Whatever you’re going through. Maybe your everything’s good. Be an encouragement to someone else as well. Whatever you think might pull them up and out and remind them that Christ is the author and the finisher, and He will bring them through. He’s not going to forsake them. We got this. He didn’t bring us this far to leave us. So I hope you have a wonderful day, and we will see you next time.
