ENDURE HARDSHIP
Strengthen them with Your infinite power, according to Your glorious might, so that they will have everything they need to hold on and endure hardship patiently and joyfully. — Colossians 1:11 (VOICE) Dear friends, don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you (1 Peter 4:12 NLT). Jesus told us in this world we would have trouble. (John 16:33). However, He also says: “ I have triumphed over this corrupt world order. ” (John 16:33 VOICE). Therefore, endure hardship with patience and joy, absolutely convinced that we are victorious. The Lord will stand with you and strengthen you, as He did with the Apostle Paul in 2 Timothy 4:17. If we endure, we shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us. (2 Timothy 2:12 NKJV)
