Real Hope: Courageous Faith

DAY 3 OF 5

Always With Us

I know of a couple who have given up much because they follow Jesus. They have changed countries (several times), left family behind, as well as a secure future in education, and work prospects. They did this because they love Jesus. The road has not been easy for them, yet Christian people from all over the world have been supporting them. Prayer has been answered, accommodations provided, help and aid have been there for them. Education and work have arrived in their new country. God has worked in miraculous ways in keeping them safe and providing things for them as they need them. It has not been easy at all. They still struggle with many things and I expect they miss their family. They are now part of a bigger family with blessings that have come in unexpected ways.

There are times when things are tough and people you come across will not understand your faith or will be hostile to it.

Do not fear, God says through Isaiah, I am with you and will uphold you with My strength, all the time. Sometimes we feel alone as we face a really challenging situation, but be reassured, God is with us always. That is truly being upheld with God’s righteous right hand.

About this Plan

Real Hope: Courageous Faith

The Christian life is not easy. It’s messy. It calls for us to be ‘in the world but not of the world’. This devotional theme is intended to challenge. It is intended to ask you to take stock of how you’re running the race marked out for you. In a world that is increasingly opposed to faith, how can we continue to stand courageously in its midst?
