Suffering will be a part of our lives as Christians. The New Testament is filled with warnings about the suffering Christians will incur because of their decision to follow Christ and not the ways of the world. Millions of Christians across the world are subjected to torture, isolation, and mockery just because they have chosen to follow Christ. But Christ has also assured us that we will not endure this suffering alone, and a reward lies ahead for all of those who suffer for the name of Jesus Christ.
Bible study:
Psalm 90:17
• King James Version (KJV): And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
• Simplified: May God make our work successful and establish what we do.
This verse is a prayer asking God to:
• Make our work successful: Give us the skills, resources, and opportunities to do our jobs well.
• Establish what we do: Make our efforts lasting and meaningful.
In simpler terms, this verse is asking God to help us do our best work and make it count.
Asking for forgiveness can be one of the hardest things to do. If we are unable to ask for forgiveness, what was the point in Jesus sacrificing Himself for our sins? Pride is a dangerous sin, leading to repeated mistakes and causing harm over and over again. "Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up." If you trespass against someone, apologize and ask for forgiveness. It is up to them whether to accept it or not, but taking the step of asking and realizing the wrong committed helps you not committed again.
Dear God, in this world there are so many people, organizations and corporations the enemy is trying to use to speak against You and who You really are. But I know the truth and I know that no other word, apart from Yours, will last for ages to come. Father, may I also be a vessel used to speak of Your goodness and Your everlasting love and mercy. May I be able to minister to men and women and tell them of this great salvation, an expression of Your deep love for Man. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
