INTRODUCTION- SERIES: HOW DID WE GET HERE?  HOLDING ON
AND NEVER GIVE  UP!
SCRIPTURE:  HEBREWS 10:23- "Let us hold tightly without
wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep
his promise."
There are so many reasons for us to lose our hope due
to the things that have been happening in our lives and the lives
of those we know. We have the weight of these problems causing
heaviness in our hearts that makes us want to give up but sisters
and brothers I encourage you to hold on and hold out. God will
see you through this.
 
There are also so many reasons for us to not lose hope. God has
not forgotten about you.
Psalm 34:19- “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the
LORD delivers him out of them all” 


These afflictions can be many troubles, hardships, perplexing
circumstances, adversities, evils, and ills. 


We all have gone through so much in the last couple of years.
Losing so many loved ones, worship services, and church family,
our health, our homes, jobs, social life, etc. I could go on and
on but you understand where I coming from. It seems like with
face suffering, grief, heartache, and pain will never end. This
scripture can be one that disheartens your spirit because it
tells us that our afflictions are many but I want to assure you
that God promises us that He would deliver us out of them
out. 


1 Peter 3-6- reminds us that we have been given a living hope
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ
We may never know the reasons behind these trials and
tribulations but we do know that God has our undivided attention
when they come and God will use all of them to develop our faith
and our character in becoming more like Jesus


The most righteous person to walk the earth endured a great deal
of affliction in 3 1/2 years. Christ endured severe pain, he
cried, he was betrayed, beaten, mocked, and tortured and He died
on the cross as an innocent man to make a way for us to escape
the deathly consequences of sin in this world and the eternal
separation from the Heavenly Father.


Although both the righteous and the wicked have troubles, the
outcome of their circumstances is different because of their
different relationships with the Lord,”


BE ENCOURAGED:

1 Peter 4:12 (NIV)- "Dear friends, do not be surprised at
the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though
something strange was happening to you."


1 Peter 3:12- "For the eyes of the Lord are on the
righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the
face of the Lord is against those who do evil."
