2 Corinthians 11:29 (NKJV)
29Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation?
I used to read this verse and not really get what the Apostle Paul was really referring to then I began to invest in people’s spiritual lives. Something that hurts me very deeply is to see people fail in their faith. We hate to think that is possible but unfortunately some have very fragile faith. I found out that my love for them makes me “burn” with indignation when they stumble into a trap.
WE ARE IN WHAT THE BIBLE REFERS TO AS PERILOUS TIMES
The Bible is clear that the closer we come to the coming of Jesus back to the earth, the darker things will become. I think we can agree that things are very dark.
In the last month there have been two very high-profile leaders deny their faith. That is very sad because Jesus has not changed. What changed for someone that walks away from the lover of their soul? Did they just wake up one morning and say, “I think I’ll walk away from God today?” I doubt very seriously that is what happened. My most pointed guess is that they lost sight of the beauty. It’s like a spiritual amnesia.
The prayer time of the video for this date is designed to help the people of God not lose sight of the beauty and majesty of the Lord. We also have built into this prayer time, prayer for those that are tempted. It is not a sin to be tempted and it is a fact that temptation will come, therefore, we must pray for one another.
In between beauty and temptation lies “wisdom”. We spend some time praying over wisdom for the people. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom according to the Book of Proverbs.
IF YOU ARE STRUGGLING IN YOUR FAITH
Before you decide to turn and walk away from your faith, pray with me! Let the Holy Spirit give you courage to continue the race that has been assigned to you. He is your helper, comforter and teacher.
I hope you will hang out with me in prayer.
Blessings,
