Verse of the Day: Philippians 1:20

I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.

God’s grace and the hope He provides empowers us to face any suffering we may encounter for Christ without shame. We must have the courage to follow Jesus unwaveringly, declaring Him as the Son of God, the Messiah, and the Lord of our lives, regardless of the circumstances surrounding us. Though others may mock or ridicule us because of our faith in Jesus Christ, especially when we have troubles, we must continue to stand firm, for we serve a mighty God. Let us be determined and steadfast, always striving to heed God’s call faithfully in every situation.
