So, what happens when evil continues despite your best efforts? When the exclusionary practices of the high and mighty continue unabated. When evil seems to be winning every battle and God seems powerless or completely absent from our situation? This is when we need to pray even harder...and remain in constant prayer. The Apostle Paul put it this way..."Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thesalonians 5:16-18. When your attitude is one of submission and prayer, God moves mountains to rectify the injustices and injuries.
Remember that this life is not our permanent home. It will be over in the blink of an eye. We as believers are just passing through it. We have an eternal home with Jesus Christ our Lord in Heaven. So when people wrong you, exclude you, and push you aside as trash, remember the beatitudes, and forgive them. Remember that the persecution in this life will not carry over to the next life, and while you may have eternal life in heaven, they will likely die miserably in their unbelief.
