God’s Hope for Your Heart from Mark 13
GOD HAS GIVEN YOU THE TOOLS TO STAND
“For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the elect. But be on guard; I have told you all things beforehand.” (Mark 13:22-23)
Jesus told His disciples what to expect at the end.
He told them about circumstances, about characters, about creation itself falling apart. He told them about destruction, deception, and the demonic opposition they would face. He told them what to do and what not to do. He told them how to stay strong, how to prevail.
In fact, He told them “all things beforehand” so they would have everything they needed to stand firm when it mattered most.
He’s done the same for you.
Whether physically or spiritually, internally or externally, you will encounter opposition if you are truly following Jesus. The good news is that for every situation you may face, Jesus has already prepared the tools you will need! His Word and His Spirit are ready for you to take hold of. His people and His power are waiting for you to connect with.
No matter what obstacle or persecution comes against you, Jesus is for you and He’s given you all you need to prevail!
May you have eyes to see His deliverance today, and hands ready to take hold of all He has given for your freedom. As you do, you’ll find hope in this truth: God has given you the tools to stand.
