Hang in There
A
famous poster features a cat hanging in a precarious position with the caption,
“Hang in there, Friday’s coming!” That poster has been redone in many forms
since its debut 40 years ago, using other cute animals from birds to
orangutans. Believers in Christ need encouragement at one time or another, too.
They need a poster that says, “Hang in there. Jesus is coming!”

Through endurance and through the
encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
Romans 15:4
|
The
first part of Romans 15 is a “hang in there” Scripture. Paul says God’s Word
and perseverance combine to give you hope. He orders believers to help each
other and be more concerned for others than themselves. He advises the church
at Rome to accept each other and live in harmony.
The determination with which Christians study the Bible and treat each other with kindness will have a lot to do with how well they can “hang in there.” At this time of the year, you may be thinking of goals. Aim to be more considerate of the people the Lord has put in your life, praying for them – and for the leaders and citizens of this nation as well – to find their hope in God!
