Jesus, our faithful friend and our defender



But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one. 2 Thessalonians 3:3 

You may have a friend or someone close to you whom you trust and rely on in your life, but when you encounter problems and challenges, that's when you will truly know what kind of person they are.

No doubt you have been betrayed by someone close to you whom you trusted. Perhaps they spoke ill of you or joined your enemies to attack you. Betrayal is a significant problem in our society.

However, today's word tells us, "The Lord is faithful." This is a powerful statement to someone who has faced many life challenges and has been betrayed by people. Faithful people are very rare nowadays. But we thank our Lord Jesus Christ for His faithfulness to us. Jesus has never abandoned anyone; He is with his people in every situation.

God's faithfulness to us is what makes us strong. Knowing that you have someone who is with you, who believes in you, and wishes you well is enough to give you the courage and strength to move forward even in times of trouble.

So, the word of God says our faithful Jesus "will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one." This means that Jesus is with us to defend and protect us. It is a great grace that God has given us.

In today's world, people say it is very lucky to find someone who will stand with you through all challenges and defend you, but we who have Christ say it is grace. Therefore, child of God, place your trust in Jesus. Do not rely on people. Jesus is always with you to encourage and protect you from all evil. Pray that He reveals Himself to you as a faithful friend, especially when you face life's challenges.

Prayer: Thank you, Lord Jesus, for being with me at all times. I pray that you open my eyes to recognize your presence in every situation I go through. Thank you for your faithfulness and protection. Amen.

THE TIME TO RECEIVE THE FRUITS OF YOUR LABOUR IS NOW

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS

  "I know what it is to be poor or to have plenty, and I have lived under all kinds of conditions. I know what it means to be full or to be hungry, to have too much or too little. Philippians 4:12 CEV" God’s purpose for humankind is for everyone to succeed, but each person has their own season. Just as each flower blooms in its own time, each of us has a time set by God. When that season comes, God will make you prosper. Until then, keep praying and working hard, trusting in His timing. When you look at your peers, former classmates, family members, or others in your age group and see their success, it’s easy to start comparing. Maybe a friend just built a new house or got a high-paying job, or perhaps someone you know is getting married. If you feel like you’ve achieved more, you may feel good about yourself. But if you feel like you’re still “behind,” it’s easy to feel discouraged and inadequate. This is where your perspective can become distorted. Some people think they ar...
