Power of Perseverance

        Perseverance is something that all men need. Without it, many would not accomplish goals that they have set. Why is this true? Perseverance helps you to maintain consistency in the midst of opposition. Therefore, make sure that perseverance is a part of your toolkit for success in this life. Remember the words of Christ,

And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. Matt 10:22 (KJV)

When speaking of the end of all things, Jesus said that the one who would be saved is the one who endured; that is, the one who persevered. If you remain willing to persevere through hardships, misunderstandings, and persecutions, you are willing to be blessed by the Lord in this life and in the one to come. Remember these 3 things when you persevere:

        Persevere with a praise in your mouth: give Him thanks in all things. Persevere with a purpose in mind: know that there is a reward for your endurance. And, persevere with the promise of salvation and victory: you are promised life everlasting. There is power in perseverance.

Prayer of the Week:

“I thank you for your daily provision and protection. I make a new commitment to persevere through my trials and tests through your strength. I give you glory and praise today. Amen.”
