PERSEVERANCE

” SO, DO NOT THROW AWAY YOUR CONFIDENCE, IT WILL BE RICHLY REWARDED. YOU NEED TO PERSEVERE SO THAT WHEN YOU HAVE DONE THE WILL OF GOD , YOU WILL RECEIVE WHAT HE HAS PROMISED.” HEBREWS 10: 35-36

Many times when we pray, our prayers are not answered as quickly as we might want. It is in these times that that our faith is put to the test. We must continue to believe, even in times when it appears the situation is hopeless. We must not doubt or fear. We must continue to keep our focus on the end result, Jesus Christ. From a human stand point this is not an easy task. We are surrounded by the world and all of the doubt that comes with it. In order to keep our focus on Jesus, and to know that we are receiving all of his promises, we must continue to surround ourselves with the things of God. We must read and meditate upon his word each and everyday. We must pray and listen carefully to the direction of the Holy Spirit. We must continue to stay positive in our thoughts, words and actions. But, as God tells us in Hebrews 10, we WILL receive what he has promised when we have presevered and done the will of God. We are to be patient and NOT anxious about anything. Keep building upon your faith! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
