Winter Uplifting

As of today there are 46 days left until Spring. I flipped the page in my calendar and read the verse for the month of February. So here it is:

Psalm 5:11-12

"But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield."

What a blessing to hear especially in the days and times in which we are now living! The world is becoming more and more hostile toward Christians. Jesus told us that the world would despise us.

Matthew 10:22

"And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved."
Endure to the very end. Don't compromise on the truth or on God's word. God does not change and he does not compromise with sin. Be watchful, for many try to disguise themselves in the winds of change and unity, but if that change and unity requires a compromise against God's word and truth --it is not of God.

Mt 24:9-13

"Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."

It is hard to go against what society tells you is "acceptable" but society does not write what truth is, God does. Maintain, endure to the end dear ones.
