“By standing firm you will gain life” Luke 21:19 [NIV]
Many around the world experience the devastation of an earthquake.
When their world is shaken to its foundations.
Even more of us, perhaps, also experience our own world being shaken through suffering; whether that is illness, breakdown or loss. Our world is falling apart with little hope.
In the midst of the turmoil of our lives, when our world seems to have collapsed, God, who has been with us, is still there. God who has been faithful in the past remains faithful today.
The times when we feel our faith tested, the times when we feel crushed by events are the times when God is closest to us.
When our world seems to be collapsing, God stands firm. His love, His peace, His joy, His grace are close to us.
Stand firm, don’t lose hope.
God is with us.
