This past week I have heard multiple times about how the persecuted church around the globe is growing at a pace far greater than the US Church. Why is it the church is growing in places where faith is persecuted the most?
In the US we talk about the war on Christianity, but I fear we don't understand what that even means.
In most cases when times get hard for Christians in the United States, we start singing that line from the old Barry Manilow song:
Even now when I have come so far, I wonder where you are
We wonder where God is in the hard times and forget that God is with us in our good times. But then there is today's reminder in Scripture ...
the LORD was with him
This phrase shows up in the good times and the hard times and we are reminded that no matter our current status (take that Facebook!) God is with us. Take time to consider what that means for you today ...
No matter what is going on in your life .... no matter the status of things ...
the LORD is with you
With that knowledge at hand, how will you respond to the opportunities and challenges of today?
