Hebrews
12:3
"Consider
him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary
and lose heart." NIV
"For
consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye
be wearied and faint in your minds." KJV
So many times we
get discouraged and down because our lives seem to be stressed to full capacity
and we don't know how we can endure much more. We may be tempted to just quit
trying or get so overwhelmed that we become ineffective and unproductive. When
these times come, we can look at what Jesus endured while He walked this
earth. We can consider the horror He went through from the Garden of Gethsemane
to the Tomb. Then we will understand that He will provide the grace we need to
rise above anything that comes against us in this life.
Heavenly Father,
oh how weak and fragile we are! Help us to remember and reflect on the trials
and unfair, evil treatment Christ endured while He was here. Give us Holy Spirit
strength to stand firm against the things that come against us and weigh us down
so that we will continue to be effective and productive for Your kingdom. We
pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
