Beloved, when we face trials and challenges in life, let us consider Jesus. He is the author and perfecter of our faith, and He knows what we’re going through. In Hebrews 12:2, we’re encouraged to “fix our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.” For the joy set before him, he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Jesus endured the cross for our sake, so that we might have eternal life. He knows what it means to suffer, and He knows how to comfort us in our time of need. So, let us fix our eyes on him and trust in his love and faithfulness. Let us consider him in all that we do, and let his example inspire us to live a life of faith, hope, and love.
Sometimes when we have challenges we go to several people we trust around to seek help, it could be our spouse, ooarents, siblings, boss, mentors or even our paastors. While it’s beautiful to seek counsel from respected authorities Jesus should be our first resort and not our last.
If you’re yet to receive Jesus as your lord and personal savoiur and you haven’t experienced his love, this is your chance say this prayer:
Dear God, I acknowledge that I am a sinner in need of your grace and forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ is your Son and that He died on the cross for my sins, and rose again from the dead. I accept Him as my Lord and Savior, and I surrender my life to Him. Please come into my heart, forgive my sins, and fill me with your Holy Spirit. I declare that I am a new creation in Christ Jesus, and I thank you for the gift of salvation. In Jesus’ name, I pray.
Amen.
