The true Christian walk is not a bed of roses. š¹ It places a target šÆ on our backs. God promises to get into the battle with us.
āDear friends, donāt be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you. Instead, be very gladāfor these trials make you partners with Christ in his suffering, so that you will have the wonderful joy of seeing his glory when it is revealed to all the world.
If you are insulted because you bear the name of Christ, you will be blessed, for the glorious Spirit of God rests upon you. If you suffer, however, it must not be for murder, stealing, making trouble, or prying into other peopleās affairs. But it is no shame to suffer for being a Christian. Praise God for the privilege of being called by his name!ā
1 Peter 4: 12-16 (NLT).

As Christians, itās wise to regularly examine our hearts. Are we craving the worldās approval a little too much?
Jesus didnāt sugarcoat what following Him would cost:
āIf the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you.
Do you remember what I told you? āA slave is not greater than the master.ā Since they persecuted me, naturally they will persecute you. And if they had listened to me, they would listen to you. They will do all this to you because of me, for they have rejected the one who sent me.
They would not be guilty if I had not come and spoken to them. But now they have no excuse for their sin.
Anyone who hates me also hates my Father. If I hadnāt done such miraculous signs among them that no one else could do, they would not be guilty. But as it is, they have seen everything I did, yet they still ...
Today we learned that Senator Lindsey Graham has passed away after a sudden illness. He was 71.
Itās a sobering reminder that none of us is promised tomorrow. Our times are in His hands.
āMy times are in your hands; deliver me from the hands of my enemies, from those who pursue me.ā ā Psalm 31:15
What kind of legacy do we want to leave?
Graham and Mitch McConnell were once two of the most powerful figures in American politicsāmen who helped shape foreign policy, the courts, and the direction of their party for decades. Now both are no longer positioned to influence world events.
Life moves quickly. Power fades. Influence passes. God is in control!
Letās pray that God raises up a new generation of men and women leaders after His own heartāleaders marked by wisdom, courage, integrity, and a genuine fear of the Lord.
May the Lord comfort Senator Grahamās family, his staff, and all who mourn him today.
May Senator Graham rest in peace.
