Perspective on Tribulation
David Falk
In many parts of the world, Christians are experiencing severe persecution. In our western society, we are largely shielded from this. However, as we approach the time of the end, we can expect this tribulation to increase. Paul encouraged all the early churches by saying, ‘Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God’. Acts 14:22. I want to encourage you to lift up your eyes in prayer to behold what God is doing in the whole world. I am inclined, like many people, to live in an isolated and incubated world where my life is mostly about the things that are happening around me. My constant wrestle in prayer is to lift up my eyes to see what God is doing. It is vitally important that we learn to ‘lift our eyes to the hills from where our help comes’. Psa 121:1. By looking to the Lord, we will gain perspective. We will see things in the broader spectrum of our lives that are not easily seen.
