Jesus said, "If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you." John 15:20. He also declared that, "In the world you shall have tribulation but take courage, I have overcome the world." John 16:33.
In Paul's letter to the Corinthian believers, he also speaks of difficult times and accosting - but not without hope. "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body." 2 Corinthians 4:8-10.
The next time (which could be any moment) you feel overwhelmed with no way out, think about those "but nots" and allow Jesus to deliver you. Allow Him to be a very present help in time of your need. After all, nothing is too difficult for Him, for He will always make a way of escape.
NOW GO LIVE IT!
