We find ourselves discouraged at times in our walk with the Lord. We don’t see the blessings that were once abundant but now seem nowhere to be found. Today, with Dr. James Boice we’ll be studying Psalm 77. The psalmist, Asaph, is discouraged. He knows God is good, but it seems like a long time since he’s seen evidence of that goodness. Join us as Asaph deals with the discouragement of feeling distant from God.
"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:10-12
The Bible tells us that those who are persecuted are blessed, but that message is certainly contrary to the message the world believes. So how is it that Christians can rejoice in trials? In this booklet, Dr. Boice describes what it means to be persecuted for Christ, tells us how to rejoice in persecutions, and challenges us to stand up and be counted.
