This life is just a vapor in the scheme of eternity. In the midst of a trial, it can be really hard to look beyond your immediate pain and discomfort. It’s tempting to take the easy path and avoid hardship wherever possible. But, as Pastor David will remind us in today’s message, the path a believer is called to walk is not easy. It’s going to be hard. There are those who’ll face physical torture and death, but when you remain faithful to Christ, your witness will be strengthened, and the eternal rewards will be great.
