Keep pressing on
For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: Philippians 1:23
There are times you find yourself in troubles that shook your faith in Christ. It would be as if God has forsaken you; you would be mocked by unbelievers and some will talk you to be foolish. Christ has made us to understand that we will experience tribulations and trial times but at the end we will overcome (John 16:33). “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”
In Philippians 1:23 we see that Paul experienced tough tribulations that he had thought of either pressing on with Christ or to give up; but he considered giving up as nothing profitable to him for the end is destruction, he considered staying in Christ as an option with an eternal reward not just a reward. As Christians we should emulate this character of holding on to Christ Jesus no matter the tribulations challenging us. It is inevitable that we would be tempted to depart; but remember to depart has nothing to offer us but an eternal regret. we should remember the promise Christ made in John 16:33 let this be in our minds always. I pray in the name of Jesus we would overcome every challenges facing us and be a conqueror at the End.
Conclusion
Believers should keep pressing on even when the desire to give up comes; we should always remember Christ promise in John 16:33
