Endure … but not just in your own strength

Morning: Psalms 30, 32; Haggai 2.1–9; Revelation 3.1–6
Jesus predicts there will be trouble on the way to a better world … the temple’s destruction; false messiahs; strife; conflict; famines; earthquakes; betrayal; hatred; lawlessness and the loss of love.  In the face of trouble, Jesus counsels endurance … Share the good news that a better future will surely dawn; it will be embodied and enacted in the lives of those who endure and remain faithful to his Way and his vision.  It is easy to despair and be discouraged by trouble when you trust in your own strength. But God’s strength produces endurance and the victory of love.
