Reflective Thoughts

Romans 12 v12

12Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

Reflection

God’s Word teaches that we are commanded to do all things with our eyes focused on Heaven; this way we keep our hearts on fire for the Lord, and we also fulfil the command for the hopeful, patient and faithful character that God desires us to be.  

We are also encouraged not to quit even though we are faced with the many trials of life,
but to continue steadfastly reaching out to God in prayer.  

As we pray and continue to seek God’s leading, wisdom and strength, may He help us to be active and steadfast in Him, even in the midst of serious trouble, such as what we face during this time of isolation and lockdown.  

God is honoured when we rejoice and place our hope and trust in Him.  And so rejoice and hope in Him always, and with a cheerful and expectant heart, may we continue to be alert servants of our Lord.  

He is coming soon!  Praise His name!

Grace and Peace.
