THE AFTERMATH OF THE 2024 US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

To shed some insights and intelligence on the expectancy regarding suffering, A Focus from the Biblical Perspective serves as an Encouragement To Be Faithful on the path of the journey

Apostle Paul once stated...’I also suffer’ and his narrative utterance proclamation goes on to reveal, “It is He {God] who called us to a Holy Life, not because of anything we have done but because of His own purpose, and His plan before the world began to show His love, kindness and grace” {2 Timothy 1:9}Take notice that ‘grace’ is a keyword. Know that it is not an award or a trophy that can be earned just because of one Faith and Belief. However, it is given and bestowed at the behest of God to whom He wants, as often as He wants, whenever He wants too

I hasten to add that suffering does not always mean it is due to some type of wrongdoing or happening or a sin you’ve committed in life. Rather, according to biblical scripture, it is an inevitable part of life due to one’s faith and belief in a power of higher authority.

It is also prudent and wise to know that a faith believer has the same ‘mortal’ and corruptible body as those unbelievers.

Translated: the words ‘mortal and corruptible’-to be clear the physical body of a faith believer does not make it so, that it becomes exempt from such behavioral patterns. It is also important to know that suffering may also happen as a result of persecution from the world, and its perspective leaders, as a whole, just because those who serve as world leaders, do not conform to certain standards, that are right in God’s Sight.

However, when we as a faith believer on the path of the journey can have hope, and the knowledge of choice to know that we can be secure in our faith and belief and that the advent of change will ultimately make manifest. All due to being involved in the activities of “Good Trouble” as per the profound words of the late great Congressman John Lewis

In conclusion, “For the which cause I also suffer these things; nevertheless, I am not ashamed; because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced, and also persuaded that He can keep that which I have committed, and can guard what I have entrusted to Him for that day {2 Timothy 1:12}
