Enduring

2 Timothy 4:5-6a But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and discharge all the duties of your ministry. For I am already being poured out like a drink offering.

Trials are part of life. If we are moving strongly day by day sharing the hope and love of Jesus Christ, trials are always going to be part of our existence.

In two Timothy chapter four Paul talks about being poured out like a drink offering. When you have the desire to serve God with all your heart, you will be poured out like a drink offering. There will be terrible trials and whenever there is calm, it will probably be the eye of the storm.

If our Savior Himself suffered so much how can we expect to live a life that is without suffering? Even so in all the suffering let us remember one thing that though the enemy will mean it for evil against us, God will use it for our good.

Let us focus on the God that become man and gave His life on the cross. Let us be willing to be poured out like a drink offering and be a light.

Let us prayerfully ask the Lord to do a new work in our lives and to view our ministry with His eyes.
