Swimming against the current

Increasingly believers in America are finding that their beliefs, practices, and convictions are under assault. The culture seems to be moving towards increased hostility towards Christianity. For example, Students who wear shirts with Christian logos, verses, sayings are being told they can't wear these things. Public Schools are refusing to allow Christian groups to meet on campus for Bible Studies. The new health care law ("Obama Care") forces employers and individuals to pay for insurance coverage for birth control and abortion inducing drugs against their will. So how are believers to handle such growing hostility. There are many things I could suggest, but the one that occupies my thoughts today comes from Psalm 9:10. "And those who know Your Name will put their trust in You, For You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You". A powerful reminder to those who stand for the truth in these days when the truth of God's Word is under attack as are all those who seek to live by it. God promises that those who follow Him will be vindicated, will see their enemies punished and what is truly right will prevail. Right now when the wicked seem to prosper and the righteous seem to suffer it is very difficult to continue,until we fix our eyes on the Lord and remember that in the end we win.
