How about believing the Lord’s promises, that faith will open up a way? Your faith is one thing you do have a control over the measure of, as you exercise it.
Nobody promised easy. But even in the worst instance, for those who physically perish, they shall actually pass into the Lord’s reward.
Instead of saying “But” to the Lord’s promises on account of earthly opposition, how about saying “But” to earthly opposition on account of the Lord’s promises. That is what opens up the power that comes by faith.
Faith may get us to heaven, but it won’t stop the hellish future we will be forced to endure here on earth. Just IMHO.
