Psalm 27:14 Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!.
In this race of life, it is full of challenges and hardships. Once your car breaks down, you have to come up with emergency funds to fix it. Once you fix your car, another issue surfaces, such as investment loss or job loss, and if you don’t find a job on time, it can lead to downsizing due to income loss. As a result, your monthly income disappears or becomes too small to cover your daily living expenses. These are some struggles that come with this life. And when it comes to be a believer, there are additional struggles that equally arise with this Christian life.
One difficulty of being a Christian can be betrayal from closest friends, because you have decided to follow the Lord Jesus Christ. There are also situations where individual families have even abandoned their loved one because they have chosen to follow the Lord Jesus Christ. Individuals who openly confess their faith in making Jesus Christ their Lord have been insulted. These and many more are the difficulties the believer has to encounter in his or her faith journey. The unfortunate situation is these struggles can diminish the believer's faith in the Lord or even cause the believer to doubt the essence of following the Lord Jesus Christ. A very terrible position the believer can find himself or herself.
But God has been kind and has given the believer the word as a way for the believer to adopt in his or her life, so when these struggles come the believer's way. The believer can behave or conduct himself or herself to overcome these and many struggles that will come the believer’s way.
The conduct is the believer in all his or her struggles should not go before God and try to find a way to overcome the struggles, but should wait on God in prayer and standing on the promises of the Lord. And through this, obtain the strength from the Lord through the Spirit as He uses the word of the Lord to encourage the believer and comfort and direct the believer out of his or her struggles. And the believer must take comfort in God through the word and instead of been discourage and defeated rather inspired and take courage knowing the Lord has already granted guaranteed victory in every struggle through the Lord Jesus Christ. All the believer has to do is continuously seek God's help and do what he has to do on his or her end. And as he or she wait for God in His own time brings the promised victory.
