Consider Him

 

Let’s not grow weary
and discouraged

in our souls
and minds

but keep thinking
of our Jesus

who faced hostility
of every kind.

**********

I can endure difficult situations for you are with me.

**********

“For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.”

Hebrews 12:3. NKJV

Be Ready

 

Preach the word
in season and out

convince, rebuke
exhort

for the time will come
when sound doctrine won’t be heard

so be watchful and fulfill
your work.

**********

I can preach the word for You are with me.

**********

“Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.”

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears they will heap up for themselves teachers;”

“and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.”

“But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.”

2 Timothy 4:2,3,4,5 NKJV

He Remains Faithful

 

If we die with Him
we shall live

if we endure
with Him we’ll reign

if we deny Him
we’ll be denied

if we’re faithless
His faithfulness remains.

**********

I can endure all things, for You are with me.

**********

“Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.”

“This is a faithful saying: For if we died with Him, we shall also live with Him.”

“If we endure, we shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us.”

“If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.”

2 Timothy 2:10,11,12,13. NKJV

Endured

“And the truth of the LORD endures
forever.”  Psalm 117:2

A few definitions for endure are:
1.)  to suffer patiently
2.)  to undergo, especially without giving in
3.)  to continue in the same state
4.)  to remain firm under suffering or misfortune without yielding.

Lord, help us to endure for Truth’s sake today.  And here’s a simple poem . . .

Forever

Truth endured
taking on our sins
remaining firm
and in love
continuing.

“How Can I Endure?”

“For how can I endure to see the evil that will come to my people?  Or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?”  Esther 8:6

May my heart be as broken as Esther’s for my people.

Lord, let me not grow apathetic to the evil and destruction around me.  And here’s a simple poem . . .

How could we endure
the loss of our loved ones

or of this nation
coming more and more undone

but for the hope of mercy
we cry out and ask You

by the power of Your Spirit
may many more yet come.
