2 Timothy 4:16 At my first defense no one stood with me, but all forsook me. May it not be charged against them.
17 But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that the message might be preached fully through me, and that all the Gentiles might hear. And I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
18 And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen!
I find great comfort in this. We don't know what the spiritual climate will be like in our nation in the next ten years or more. A lot can change. At any rate, I see it becoming more and more intolerant of Christians. It is comforting to know that God will stand with us to strengthen those that are truly His. He will deliver us and preserve us for His heavenly kingdom. It doesn't mean we won't suffer or even be killed, but it does mean He will preserve our souls and bring us safely into His heavenly kingdom. All glory to Him!
