Since Christ suffered physical pain, you must arm
yourselves with the same attitude He had, and be ready to suffer, too.
For if you have suffered physically for Christ, you have finished with
sin. 1 Peter 4:1
There have been times in my life that I have tried to finish
certain tasks or objectives and just simply given up. Others, I have
remained faithful and disciplined and have been successful. When we set
goals, or more importantly, when God has called us to a task, we should never
give up. When we give up, we miss out on the blessings of reaching our
goal and we also are telling God that we don’t trust Him to help us get there.
Just because God asks you to do something, it is not a guarantee
that it will be easy. In fact, I can hardly recall anything that God has
asked me to do that ever was easy. This principle can be applied across
our lives-from our marriages, to parenthood, to friendships and relationships,
from work to projects; we are assured that the journey may be difficult, but in
the end, we will face no worries or problems in heaven.
Jesus guarantees difficulties in this world, but He also
promises none in the next!
