You are those who have continued with me in my trials.
Luke 22:28.

The trials of which the Lord Jesus spoke here He encountered as true man. And His disciples had a share in them. They truly experienced privations, hunger, fatigue and earthly poverty. With their Lord they also endured disfavour, contempt and persecution from their own people. The psalms especially give us some insight into the way the Lord Jesus painfully felt suffering and these trials. How comforting it was that His disciples loved Him, supported Him and persevered with Him!

Today it is still possible to endure trials with the Lord. Sufferings such as the Lord had in the service of His God, have continued till today. We often think that He supports us in all our trials, and that gives us much comfort. But have we ever thought how heartening and well-pleasing it is for Him if we persevere with Him in His trials? We have in mind the kind of trials that He experienced and which we brave for His sake, whether they are privations or remarks that hurt.

Our merciful and faithful High Priest can "sympathise with our weaknesses" for He "was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin" (Hebrews 4:15). He is Himself afflicted in all our affliction (cf. Isaiah 63:9). His fellowship with us in the circumstances of our life is constant. And in so far as we bear suffering and trials for His sake we experience "the fellowship of his suffering" (Philippians 3:10).

Today's reading: Judges 6:14-27 Â· 2 Corinthians 6:1-10

The Christian race must be run with lots of patience or else it will be bungled midway. If you are inpatient with Gods timing, you will not only get into trouble but may not be able to finish the race. A good number of backsliders derailed from their heavenly track because of impatience. In Matthew 11:6 Jesus...More

Jehovah appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre. And he sat at the tent-door in the heat of the day. And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, three men standing near him.

THE HOLY SPIRIT

It is one thing to receive the anointing and another to keep growing on it. There are people who had the anointing, but today, everything has virtually ebbed out. It is possible to connect with the Holy Spirit and to continue to flow in the power of the anointing even at increasing levels. If this is your desire,...More

BEFORE YOU GET ANGRY

Yesterday we learnt it is not right for us to get angry with God or to take offence against Him, even if we experience the deferment of our hopes. The example of John the Baptist who earlier acknowledged Jesus as the Messiah, but later doubted Him because of his painful experience of incarceration is a warning...More
