ENTRUSTING GOD WITH OUR LIVES WHEN OUR FAITH IS TESTED

1 Peter 2:23 New King James Version
23 who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously;

GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY FRIENDS!!!
It's rather interesting, that as I was reading this morning scripture, I think about what I'm learning out of Nehemiah 6, and how Nehemiah himself responded to not just the mocking, but also the threats of violence not just against the people helping to build the wall, but against him as well. How he faced not only gentile opposition, but opposition even from his own people! I wondered how frustrated Nehemiah often got when he was dealing with all these people, and whether or not he just wanted to let his temper get in the way and lash out. Who would blame him if he did, but praise God that he didn't. I also found the story that Matt Lucas, this morning's devotional writer, who shared about the city of Nicomedia Very interesting, because it's a representation of what's going on even today. Christians in other countries, being murdered for their faith, and the name of Jesus is still going strong.

Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things God showed me on what it means to entrust God with our lives as our faith is being tested, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, And I pray that what I share with you will encourage you to know that you can trust God with your very life, even in the midst of opposition. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn how to entrust God with your very life when your faith is tested! 😊

So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with these questions from this morning's devotional, and I pray that God speaks to your heart through them, but also encourages you to not be afraid to trust God with everything you have even your life.

When have you felt like retaliating because of unfair treatment for your faith?

How will you trust God to be your defense?

I pray tonight for every believer out there who is being persecuted, slandered, attacked, or in any other way being opposed for their faith, to not be afraid to entrust your entire life to almighty God, and know that He IS your defense. I also pray that you don't try to take matters into your own hands with whatever injustice that you are facing, but that you entrust things to almighty God. Know that we will all suffer for our faith, maybe not like the believers in Nicomedia, or the believers in Syria, Iraq, or other Muslim controlled countries, but we can be assured that no matter what test of our faith occurs, that any opposition we face will reveal the strength of our faith in Christ, bring glory to His name, and that we can count on God's justice to bring us the vindication that we need.

UNTIL MONDAY:

HAVE A VERY SWEET EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!
