There is a man from Israel who shared about struggling to settle in that war torn land. He said that he had to replace his windshield seven times in the last three years. He was wounded in his leg by a bullet and hit in the face with a rock. Yet he said, "Everyday for each person killed we bring two new children into the world. For every field burned we plant two more. This is exciting. This is part of the challenge of life."
He is helping to build the nation of Israel. What about us Christians? We are helping to build the Kingdom of our Father. Are we willing to endure the struggle of sharing and living out our faith? 2 Tim 2:3 Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. NIV
In fact we can do more than just endure, we can really thrive because of our faith and trust in Jesus. Through Him we are overcomers! 1 John 5:4-5 This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God. NIV
