Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good! Romans 12:21

It will be worth it.

Dear Saint, you may be burdened with trials. You may be overcome with trouble. You may lack the basic necessities of life. You may be persecuted. But it will be worth it. As II Corinthians 4:8,9 tells us, "We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; we are persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed!"

The enemy may seem to have the upper hand for a season but his time is short and his power is limited. Though he rants and rages, though the whole earth may seem to be in the throes of turmoil because of his evil machinations and the wickedness of men who are puppets on his string, yet we know, "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning," Psalm 30:5.

As we are told in Galatians 6:9, "Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." Though you are weary and worn, remember the words of the old hymn, "He will not let you fall..."

Psalm 121 says it all:

I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The Lord watches over you—
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.

7 The Lord will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
8 the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.

JESUS IS FAITHFUL!
