1 Peter 5:9
Resist him, standing strong in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
In light of the news today, this humbles me greatly.
Our brothers and sisters in Christ are facing persecution ranging from isolation to death. Families are standing strong in their faith. Faith that was built on a strong foundation. Faith that can only come by a true relationship with God.

We
are building our foundations today. In a time that seems almost restful,
we are to be building the kind of faith that will stand when
persecution comes our way. True faith.
We ask, "What can we do?" when we hear the news of persecution around the world. Here Peter tells us: Resist the devil and stand strong.
What does that look like in our world? Stand strong. Make a daily commitment to pray. Daily read our Bibles. Fellowship with other believers. Encourage one another in our faith. Be Christ's hands and feet.....show love to a world that is starting to not recognize the purity of love.
Resist the devil. Don't give in to his temptations whatever that might be in your world. The first step is the hardest. Begin today. Beware, he comes. Yet, we serve the One who has overcome all.
As we continue in a world that has already been foretold, it is past time to prepare. It is what it is. Are we ready? Is our faith strong or are we struggling daily now? At some point in time, it will be too late to make our faith a priority.
What is your spiritual "bucket list"? Are you searching to cross off the items on it as you are experiences in this world? When was the last time someone came to you and said, "I want the peace that you have. How do I find it?"
Stand firm. Stand strong. Stand real.
