Wednesday's Word - The Moment I've All Been Waiting For

Hello All,
Wanna know something? Life is hard. I guess it stands to reckon that I’m not telling you anything new. Somehow I have the sneaky suspicion that you’re already pretty familiar with what I’m talking about. But we all know that sometimes more than others, life gets ‘especially’ hard. Now hopefully, I’m not alone in this when I say that sometimes it gets so hard that I don’t necessarily start to think that God doesn’t know, but my thoughts do tend toward (if only in a whisper),”God, do you understand just how hard this is for me? Cause if you did, you would do something”. Maybe its just me. Well, thank God for His True and Living Word because in it we find that He does know, He does understand, and He has done something. Some words the Bible uses carry a certain “pleasantness” with them and then, there’s these certain ‘other’ words. The word endure is such a word. Sadly, preaching endure in today’s society probably won’t have people running the aisles for church membership; but here’s the Word that shows that He knows, He understands and He has done something:

John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

2 Timothy 2:3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

And though sometimes all we can do is bow our heads, grit our teeth and bear it: We are to love the Lord our God with all our heart, all our soul, and all our strength and all our mind. Luke 10:27. Now what has God done? He’s done ALL in giving us the Perfect Ensample.

Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

So yeah, it’s not all bad, but life IS hard. And as I endure ALL of the struggles that this life presents… ALL while continuing to love the Lord with ALL of those ALLs I mentioned earlier. I know there’s a moment coming and “Praise God HALLELUIA!” I know it’s the moment I’ve ALL been waiting for.
