God is challenging us not to allow the world’s definition of ‘success’ or ‘failure’ to detract us from pursuing our ultimate prize – the crown of glory from the hands of our Master when we finish our race.
The people of the world may have good reasons to live in fear, given all the frightening and terrifying stuff going on in the world. However, those with God on their side are fearless like lions.
God works in mysterious ways. If we take time to ponder on His promises and works, we’ll appreciate the fact that God works everything for our good, according to His own pre-arranged plans. purposes and objectives.
We’re able to live for God’s glory because by His Grace, Christ has ensured that we’re adequately covered to deal with both internal shortcomings and external foes.
