When the Christian faith is under siege, what does a Christian have to do? Some would say hold on to it. Fight off the temptation and continue evangelizing the Word. Others would have to meditate to gain an answer. Climb a prayer mountain, do fasting or simply read through verses just to have a convincing. But there would be some that will admit that this is a hard question to answer particularly in the present.
Even if we read the Bible often and spread the Word of God if we do not follow through, it is useless. Despite the trials, we should completely trust His unconditional love and live a happy disposition throughout the storm. This is hard to do for someone who is undergoing pain but if we are real followers of Christ we will be able to survive the trials.
Prayers can do wonders for the challenged Christians. If we are moved to temptation, close your eyes and talk to God. Doing occasional fasting can help strengthen our faith. One must be objective in completing the process. One must be steadfast in maintaining a happy disposition even if your stomach is begging for food.
His great love has allowed us to survive the temptations of life. Those who believed in Him unconditionally have never perished. Despite the trials, they still live a prosperous life. As promised, the Lord provides. We just have to believe. Unfortunately due to the unforeseen events we tend to question that promise.
Keeping a happy disposition while under siege is indeed hard. However reading through the book of Job we come to realize that sometimes we have to undergo a time of ruin to build a better relationship with Him. If we have not gone through it will we ever seek him?
We are all children of God. We tend to take this for granted and push our limits. We ask but we never give back. We unintentionally break the bond as we sin yet we pride ourselves of being a soldier for Christ. Assess your faith. Try to accept your shortcomings and work out the difference. As Christians it is our responsibility to look after our brothers and ourselves. We should not allow Earthly temptation to get the best of us but instead we should be mindful of our words and our actions.
If the Lord sacrificed His only son for us, what is our right to not give everything up for the faith? A religion is just a group if it fails to show its faith. Do not claim anything until you can show it action. It is like looking in a mirror and forgetting how you look afterwards. Live the faith and earn its rewards.
