Today's passage from the Bible In a Year Reading Plan is 2 Chronicles 28-30, Matthew 10:1-25
Matthew 10:22
All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved
We want people to like us, that’s just ingrained in our being. We hope to make good impressions, we hope to have lots of friends, we hope that others will say good things about us...but to what end?
Are we willing to bend our convictions (our faith) so someone won’t think us weird?
Are we willing to bend our morals because everyone else is laughing at that joke?
Are we willing to accept as right things we know are wrong just so we don’t step on toes?
We are not promised that this life will be easy (it definitely wasn’t easy for Jesus when he walked this earth or the disciples as they put everything aside to follow) but we are promised to be saved when we stand firm.
Tomorrow's Bible In a Year Passage: 2 Chronicles 31-33, Matthew 10:26-42
