"Hang In There!"
Remember that poster in the 80s that showed a kitten hanging on for dear life? Sometimes the problems we face make us feel like that kitten... Financial burden, job stress, family disputes etc., can really pile up on one's mind.
Troubles certainly have a way of wearing us down. And if we're not careful, they can erode even our bedrock convictions. The promise in Psalm 37 is a good reminder of why we must be vigilant about not taking moral or ethical shortcuts.
Those who maintain their integrity, those who continue to do right even when everything and everyone else is wrong will one day receive the ultimate reward.
So hang in there gang!
Day by day the Lord takes care of the innocent, and they will receive a reward that lasts forever.
Psalm 37:18
Faith is not belief. Belief is passive. Faith is active.
