In 2 Timothy 3 & 4, Paul warned of difficult times ahead: growth of deception and self-love, increasing lack of godliness, and the certainty of persecution. Paul reminds us we are fully equipped for these difficult days. We have all we need in the Word of God and His Spirit within us. As we press into the Lord, He will equip and empower us to be ready for anything and everything He brings us to. Stand firm in Jesus and do not waiver. Cling to Him with all your guts. Fight the good fight, finish the race, and keep the faith. The Lord stands with us through thick and thin, He strengthens us, and He rescues us. It's up to us to reach up and trust Him for every outcome.
