[Persecution]
"Yes, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution."
- 2 Timothy 3:12
Is this verse in 2 Timothy plain, simple, and to the point or what?!?! This verse stuck out to my eyes and God spoke to me about this specific subject tonight.
When I am usually persecuted from students at school, I seem to get down. But after reading this verse, why should any of us get down in our emotions?
Does this verse say, '...some who desire to live godly...' or '...all who desire to live godly...'? Let me tell you now, if you are truly seeking after living your life sold-out for God, then YES, you will go through some sort of persecution like this verse states.
But the really GREAT news is that when you go through those times in your life, you will never ever have to be lonely. God is always going to be there, right beside you, leading the way.
Even though you may feel down because of the persecution you are going through, just think of Jesus. What did He go through for YOU???
Diving Deeper:
Read John 15:18-25. What does this passage of verses say about persecution? Why does the world hate you if you are persecuted? Remember that God is with you whenever, wherever, anywhere, and everywhere. God is with you everystep of the way (Joshua 1:9). So don't ever be afraid to live what you believe!!!
