This world is tough. It is even tougher on someone trying with all their might to honor the Lord and walk in His will and for His honor and glory. Temptations here . . . Tolerance of sin there . . . Legalization of abominations . . . Acceptance of wrongs and denouncing of truths . . . The Christ follower is now the enemy while the one who lives by his own lusts and desires is glorified as "enjoying life to the fullest"!
So how can the believer possible live a life . . . a productive and enjoyable life in this crazy, mixed-up, upside-down world? Well, I am sure the followers of Christ asked the same thing when they were walking with Him. In fact, if you remember the Lord's prayers the night before He went to the cross, He indeed prayed that the disciples and even we would be able to withstand the trials and tests. (John 17:6-26)
Here lies the key to living a life worthy of Christ and one that shines His light upon others:
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and to the farthest parts of the earth. (Acts 1:8)
We can . . . We will . . . It is through Him and by Him and for Him that we live!
