GUIDANCE AND DIRECTION
Romans 12:12
rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer;
Personal Challenge
I have heard, many times, the complaint that the Bible doesn't give us enough instructions on how to live our daily lives. I guess this can only be true if you do not read the Bible. The Bible is full of guidance and direction on how to live full, productive, and godly lives. Today's verse is just one little snippet of a powerful way to view life. Rejoicing in hope. As followers of Christ, we have a hope that is based on Gods' love and mercy and is eternal. We can rejoice in this hope every moment of every day. We also know that every day in this temporal life will be filled with tribulation. We are charged to approach this tribulation with patience, a patience that can only be sourced from our precious Lord. All of this can only be done by steadfastly continuing in prayer, communion with our Lord. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner!
