The Worst That God Gives is Better Than What The World Has To Offer (Psalms 84:10)
/For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
Psalms 84:10 (ESV)-Sons of Korah
If this be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.
Daniel 3:17-18 (ESV)-Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego
But Ruth said, "Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge.Your people shall be my people, and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there will I be buried. May the LORD do so to me and more also if anything but death parts me from you."
Ruth 1:16-17 (ESV)-Ruth
Though he slay me, I will hope in him...
Job 13:15 (ESV)-Job
Do I believe the worst that God gives is better than what the world has to offer?
These great Saints of the Bible believed it. They chose to believe God’s promises of a better life in eternity rather than compromise their faith and principles and follow the lies of the world. The entire Bible points is centered upon our Lord, Jesus Christ. He made the ultimate sacrifice on our behalf.
Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
Philippians 2:5-8 (ESV)
Jesus humbled Himself, far beyond anything we can think or comprehend, and became a man. He set aside His glory for our sake and lived and died so that He could take the penalty for our sins. God raised Him from the dead and through faith in Him, we have salvation.
This is the worst that God has ever given. And it is better than anything that has ever been offered by the world.
Won’t you accept promise of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?
Love and trust the Lord; seek His will in your life.
