Scripture: Matthew 24:9–14; Psalm 25:6–9
Reflection:
Jesus never hides the cost of discipleship. He tells us that His people will face mockery, rejection, slander, and persecution. The last century saw more martyrs than the previous nineteen combined—and Scripture tells us this will increase before the end.
Yet Jesus also gives us a staggering promise:
“Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.”
Everything around us can crumble, but the Word of God remains immovable. In a world swirling with confusion, His truth is our compass, His presence our comfort, and His gospel our mission.
The question is not whether hardship will come—but whether hope will outlast the hardship in your heart.
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, make me faithful. Strengthen me to endure trials with courage and compassion. Anchor me in Your Word and help me proclaim Your hope to others. Amen.
Practical Step:
Encourage someone today who is struggling. Send a text, make a call, or pray with them.
