"For you have need of endurance so that after you have done the will of God, you may recieve the promise" - Hebrews 10:36
When I was reading the above verse, something caught my attention. Notice the verse says AFTER you have done the will of God. To me, this shows that there are things that God wants us to do, change or learn before we receive what we are fighting for. That is why we need to endure, which also means to be patient and to persevere, no matter how hard things get. Some people overcome their problems within a short space of time, while others take longer. In both situations, they kept their eyes on what they wanted and persevered until they reached their goal.
So friends, if you feel like giving up, don't. Keep going. Great things are not conquered overnight. Yes the fight is hard, but it is so good because we have God by our sides. With God, we are more than overcomer's and nothing or no one can come against us. The only one that can stop us is ourselves.
I always say "The harder the fight, the greater the victory".

I agree Sibon. Sometimes we know we have to persevere but not seeing any apparent change whatsoever regarding what we are praying for can be very discouraging...... but once we overcome that stage.... it is only a matter of time !!!
ReplyDeleteI also agree,when we endure the victory is greater. We can never give up, but God doesn't for get the sacrifice we have done for His sake.
