The road to the cross was a struggle. Jesus would be rejected by his people and betrayed by his disciple. Satan tempted him to give up, but he pressed on to the cross for you. The Christian life is a struggle. The struggle is real. Faith in Christ doesn’t make us exempt from difficulties. But faith in Christ does give us strength to press on. Today, we confront the fact that often, the struggles we have seem unfair. We look around and see people who are dishonest, who cheat, and who seemingly are getting along just fine here on earth while we struggle and suffer. Life seems so unfair at times. Our Psalm today lifts our eyes to our Savior and the ultimate good he has brought to me with his life, suffering, death, and resurrection. In my Savior and the final outcome of eternal life he gives me, I find reason not only to praise him in the midst of my hardships but to also rejoice in his care and love for me.
