The Support in Times of Storms

It is not long time ago, when I was set in front of a question „a life or God“. It was not so radical as it seems now, although the world threatens us those ways so many times. Mostly through nonbelieving friends, boyfriends and girlfriends or parents. And  I am not talking about explicit threatens. The people don’t know, what is the bet, so they don’t know what ultimatum they made for us.

But do not be afraid not to do compromises. Do not be afraid of persecution. It is 1 AM and I am so excited, that is why I know that my usual me is always sitting and doing nothing – and many compromises. I fight this problem a lot, I talk much and do too little and I know it and it is killing me.

But I realised a beautiful thing – we have a PRICE. God will not let us be sold, because he paid the biggest price ever and nobody yet raised. In the moments like this, when the world is telling I am Nobody, I know this: If I were Nobody, nobody would fight for me, nobody would fight against me. But Heavenly God Himself fights for me and I am always under attack of the bad guy (take it for yourself). If I had no value (which God himself set), it would not be worth for Satan to fight me and it would not be worth for God to protect me.

For some reason, the power of evil consider as important our failures. If you had an enemy in love and he was zero (Nobody), you do remember, you did not worry about him and you did not care about him. But if he was handsome, good and he was your threat, you needed to eliminate this enemy from battle field.

I think there is a big game going on and we have our very seets in there. God has a great plan for each of us and forget that you heard that in Sunday School, or when you were evangelisated – that is how it is and the plan is GREAT. We are the ones, with who God will destroy the wall of darkness. Everyone of us has a purpose – preacher. Missionary. Martyr. Worship leader. Or a senior sitting on a banch and reading his bible. A lot of purposes but in this world it seems like the purpose of martyr is bigger then a purpose of the worship leader. But in the spiritual world, every one of us i an irreplaceble part of God’s chain. We are the heroes, who lies their lives for their King.

We may not feel it that way, or act that way, but it is true – we were crucified with Christ and we are dead to the world! Take it as an encouragement to the times of storms and also as my morning thought and finding out, that we have a value that no one can count...

Amen.
