Life in a fallen world requires this essential and crucial attitude to be operational in our lives daily.
Many Christians living in the postmodern world and post Christian culture are feeling a slow but steady sense of moral and mental fatigue. The bombardment and barrage of daily news is wearing us down and wearing us out. It is beginning to cause many Christians to emotionally give up and culturally give in to the social and cultural pressures. To do so would be a tragic mistake. As Winston Churchill reminds us; “This is not a time for ease or comfort. It is a time to dare and endure.”
Resilience is not a trait or a gene that one is born with. It is an attitude that is developed. Some may develop it quicker and stronger, but all of us can be resilient. We must be!
The writer of the book of Hebrews reminds his Christian audience, many who had lost their possessions and lost their freedom, after being beaten and thrown in jail, to focus and fixate their eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of their faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despised the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Do not miss the “Who” we are to imitate. Do not mistake what He and we are to see ...the future joy of being near to God.
Who are you looking at? What do you see?
Serving Him with you Until He comes for us. Fred |
