Romans 5:3-5 (NLT)
“Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.”
The Bible says that endurance is a vital virtue that develops character and hope. It's an important part of following GOD’s will and receiving the promises He has made.
One of the greatest characteristics of serving JESUS is the ability to endure and persevere through every struggle we face. JESUS uses our struggles as a way to develop and fine tune our relationship with Him. Our struggles can point out the weak and strong parts of our faith. We must endure and persevere and not give up. Our commitment should be for the long term. No matter what, every difficult situation presents an opportunity to endure and persevere that build on trust and increases our faith to keep going and hold on firmly to our faith in CHRIST and the Word of GOD.
Prayer:
My Heavenly FATHER, as we face the challenges and uncertainties of life, remind us of Your strength that sustains us through every storm. Grant us the endurance to persevere, trusting that even when we feel weary, Your grace is sufficient to carry us through. May we find strength in Your promise that 'He who endures to the end shall be saved,' and may our hearts remain steadfast in Your love. In JESUS’ Mighty Name, Amen."
