Tag: mocked for your faith

Hebrews 10:36 ” You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised.”

I’ll be the first to admit…I’m not a patient person.  But patience is exactly what God wants from me.  He asks that I steadfastly pray for unsaved loved ones…even if I don’t see change.  He asks that I not give up on dreams He’s given me…even if it’s been years.  God only asks that I be patient in my faith…unwavering in my trust of Him, as He works towards His divine purpose in my life.  For if you think about it, it’s very little He’s asking.

Galatians 6:7 ” Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. “

Have you ever been mocked for your faith?  Maybe it was something general like, “It’s only the weak that need religion.”  Or maybe it was pointed like, ” You’re stupid to think that there’s a God!”  Either way, when someone ridicules and laughs at our belief in God,  they’re treating our precious Lord with contempt.  So stand strong when you’re scoffed at for your beliefs… don’t be tempted to compromise or cave in when poked fun at, for God’s shoulders are very broad and He can take the taunts. And besides, as this verse reveals, He can and will not be mocked.
