2 TIMOTHY 1:12, THAT IS WHY I AM SUFFERING AS I AM. YET I AM NOT ASHAMED, BECAUSE I KNOW WHOM I HAVE BELIEVED, AND AM CONVINCED THAT HE IS ABLE TO GUARD WHAT I HAVE ENTRUSTED TO HIM FOR THAT DAY. Dear Brothers and Sisters in Lord Jesus Christ; Physical pain is intended to be very helpful. It is a way of telling us that something is wrong and a remedy is needed. Pain can play tricks on us; even moral pain can be manipulated by our enemy. Sometimes, we get into trouble for doing what is right; from those who are resisting Lord Jesus Christ. The enemy then deceives the believers sensitive conscience, by suggesting that the reason for their pain is that they are in the wrong. That wounded conscience will almost always feel some sort of shame: that is our enemys intention. The pain of shame usually drives us to hide away and to try to undo what has led us there. Satan encourages that, so that we pull back from the front line of Christian witness, and even apologize to others for upsetting them, when all we have done is to obey Lord Jesus Christ. My beloved, the solution to shame is the confidence of knowing that you have Lord God Almightys approval. You will only find that in the Holy Bible; which is why Christians without regular good Bible teaching become a prey for the Enemy. When you know that your life and witness agree with what the Holy Bible says, then you can dismiss the lying temptations of enemy and be active in public as well as private witness. He wants you to stop following Lord Jesus Christ. On the other hand, the Sovereign Lord has chosen you to receive His grace and to administer His grace to others - for their blessing and His glory. And that should happen most, where you spend most of your time - at work or at classrooms. Have a Gracious day in Lord Jesus Christ. Sovereign Lord blesses you all. Stay blessed.
