the power of perseverance

as you continue to seek God's purpose for your life, you will undoubtedly experience your fair share of disappointments, detours, false starts, and failures (it happened to me as well and i believe to you too) but when you do, don't become discouraged: God's not finished with you yet. (isn't that nice to hear)

there's this old saying about life that i really agree with: "life is a marathon, not a sprint". that's why wise travelers (like you and me) select a travelling companion who never tires and falters. that partner, of course, is none other than our Heavenly Father.

the next time you find your courage tested to the limit, remember that God is as near as your next breath, and remember that HE offers strength and comfort to HIS children (which is us lah). HE is your shield and your strength; HE is your protector and your deliverer. call upon HIM in your hour of need and then be comforted. whatever your challenge, whatever your trouble, God can help you persevere. and that's precisely what HE'LL do if you ask HIM. just remember, nothing is above God and we need to have total trust in HIM.

maybe you think that you're in a hurry for God to help you resolve your difficulties. maybe you're anxious to earn the rewards that you feel you've already earned from life. maybe you're drumming your fingers, impatiently waiting for God to act. if that's that cause, be forewarned: God operates on HIS own timetable, not yours or mine. sometimes, God may answer your prayers with silence, and when HE does, you must patiently persevere. in times of trouble, you must remain steadfast and trust in the merciful goodness of your Heavenly Father. (that's why people say true friends are found in times of trouble, so this is where God and us find each other) so....whatever your problem, HE can handle it, your job is basically just to keep persevering until HE handles your problems. good day all of you !!

"In the Bible, patience is not a passive acceptance of circumstances. It is a courageous perseverance in the face of suffering and difficulty." by Warren Wiersbe
