eyesonChrist.org - When those who should be for you work against you, hang in there

Hebrews_12:2_ fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

When those who should be for you work against you, hang in there

Jeremiah 12:5-6

5"If you have run with footmen and they have tired you out,

Then how can you compete with horses?

If you fall down in a land of peace,

How will you do in the thicket of the Jordan?

6"For even your brothers and the household of your father,

Even they have dealt treacherously with you,

Even they have cried aloud after you

Do not believe them, although they may say nice things to you."

God showed me this when I was being treated in ways I did not think were right, not long ago (in late 2007 or in early 2008). He was letting me know that He knew what I was going through and to not allow whoever is working against me to stop me. For me verse 5 was the primary verse at the time. I have included verse 6 incase it might be primary for you.

in Christ,

If you’re not saved, Come to Jesus!

Romans 8:38-39 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him (King James).
