Readings: Genesis 6:11-22 | Matthew 24:1-22
In Matthew 24, Jesus acknowledges that the world can feel like it’s falling apart with wars, disasters, uncertainty, fear. But His core message isn’t about predicting the end; it’s about enduring through it. Faith isn’t escapism, it’s resilience anchored in hope.
We live in an age that feels perpetually unstable, economically, politically, socially. Jesus does not promise an escape from turbulence but strength within it. The call is to stay awake, stay steady, and stay faithful when everything around us feels temporary.
Endurance isn’t passive; it’s fiercely hopeful. It trusts that God’s story is bigger than headlines, crises, or personal storms. If you feel weary, take heart: resilience grows not from self‑reliance but from God’s sustaining grace.
Devotional Prompts:
- Where do you feel shaken?
- How can endurance reshape your spiritual habits?
- What hope anchors you in uncertain times?
Prayer: Lord of all time, steady us when the world shakes. Fill us with endurance, courage, and unshakeable hope rooted in Your promises. Amen.
