There are many things in life that draw our attention down, and many things that bring us down. Let’s be honest, life is hard. It’s true. But God invites us to focus up.
Time and again, God calls His people’s attention upward, toward Himself and His glory. There’s no denial in Scripture of the challenges, difficulties, trials, obstacles, pains or temptations that we face here in this world.
The Bible is a catalog of imperfect people wrestling with the realities of life on a planet infected with sin. And even when God’s people endeavor to do His will, their paths aren’t easy.
So, how do we continue on in faith when life is hard? How do we do the next right thing? How do we hold on when what we really want to do is let go?
Paul repeats his encouragement throughout his letters. Let’s lean in and learn from its echo.
