Endurance!


Romans 15: 4
For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

Walking with Jesus every day, is not really for sissy’s.
There are two things we’ll need as we travel this road of faith, and that’s endurance and daily encouragement.
And what’s the outcome of these two character traits? Hope!

As we read the Word of God, it teaches us not to give up.
Endurance is actually something we can learn along the way.

We’re also encouraged by the stories in the Bible, because they teach us that we too, can have hope.
God is going to use your life journey today, to teach you something.

I often wonder, whose watching my life from a distance.
Do they see me living the Christian life with endurance?
Do they see me offering encouragement to my brothers & sisters in Christ?

Maybe the trail I’m trying to endure, will teach someone else, that with God, everything is possible.
Maybe they’ll receive great hope, as they witness my non-fainting experience.

Don’t underestimate what the Word of God can do for others, even when we feel like our daily walk is futile.
Maybe if we endure, others will be affected, and in turn will also be encouraged.
This much I know….God is going to teach me something today...and He’s going to teach you something too….
