DANGERS, TOILS AND SNARES

 

          Do you remember that verse in “Amazing Grace”about dangers, toils and snares? It struck me that he was writing about the journey of faith after actually coming to faith. I love its honest sentiments. There will be all sorts of problems, issues, temptations, failures and sicknesses to be navigated through in this life. None of us can avoid difficulties and sufferings completely. My encouragement to you who may be having a very hard time right now is that no problem will be forever and the Lord is always leading, those of us who follow after Him, onwards and upwards. He has the very last word and the upshot of our life’s journey will be a triumph. Don’t accept anything less in your thinking and praying. The hope we have in Jesus is totally glorious.
