The Apostle Paul, reminds the Ephesians (and us), that just as he is a prisoner, there will be costs, to following Jesus. May we count it an honor, to be asked to suffer through something, for his names sake. Father, give us your strength, to go through, what we need to, today. Feel free to share prayer requests, if you need someone to lift you up today, in prayer.

Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called,
Ephesians 4:1 NASB

God hates the proud heart, so we are to walk in humility. We do this, by be filled with his spirit, knowing God’s Word, and trusting in his sovereignty, that his plan is best, even when we don’t understand it. When the time is right, our God will lift us up. This whole chapter is a great one to study, as well as James 1 (my favorite), to better understand, going through trials. Jesus, may we walk in humility today, and every day. Your will and timing is perfect, and we submit to you. Amen.

Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time,
1 Peter 5:6 NASB

Going through a hard time? For those who put their faith and trust in Jesus, he will walk with us through those times, together. More so, even a physical death will not separate him from us. He will walk us into his very presence, for all of eternity. So take courage, this world is not our final destination, but a small piece, of all of eternity. Something to look forward to, when we finished our days, here on earth. No more pain, no more suffering, no more sick, no more, death. Can I get an Amen? Hope you have a blessed day!

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame burn you.
