RESILIENCE

Resilience might seem an odd word choice for a Memorial Day meditation.

God has reminded us in His word that there will be tough times in our lives......

times when we'll need to keep our mindset on Christ. (James 1: 2, 12) 

Times when resilience and steadfastness are needed. 

Oxford On-line Dictionary defines resilience as the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties: toughness. It's a word often describing survivors of 9/11 Twin Towers terrorist attack and veterans of wars returning home.

Times when resilient Christians must look past their troubles and keep their mind on Him

Times of war.

Such times are happening in Ukraine even as I type. 

I know because I received an email this morning showing pictures of new devastation in Severondonetsk. Destruction by ongoing artillery from the skies to street battles leaving stench of bodies on the ground. 

But God.....will always be there with us. (Joshua 1:9)

Resilient believers never stop trusting in God. But it helps when other believers come alongside with prayers and resources to help in such battles. A fellowship of people on the same side of the struggle though not physically in the same location.

Resilience shared is resilience at its best. (Dotsy, 5/27/22)
