When trust is broken, love is hard, and friends act like enemies. When advice is refused, love is invisible, lies are large, faith is small, hope is weak, and bitterness is strong, what do you do? How do you function when you have been wronged, betrayed, falsely accused, or stabbed in the back? All you have done is what you knew was right, yet it was not that way. Doing what is right is not always popular, even in the Baptist circle. What people ask for they do not always want, and what they need to hear and what they want to hear are very different things. “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? (Galatians 4.16)
The Bible says to expect trouble in this life. John 16.33, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation…” We will without a doubt have anguish, burdens, persecution, tribulation, trouble, and pressure in the world. It should not be a surprise when it comes, but rather we should be prepared it for when it does come. To know how to respond, our first place should always be His Word.
