“You need to
persevere so that when you have done the will of God,
you will receive what
he has promised.”
Hebrews 10:36
Giving up can be so
easy.
But when you are
running the race set before you – easy doesn’t win it!
Perseverance does!
During seasons of
transition, as our church is experiencing now,
the temptation to
quit can be even greater.
“Too much change, why
put in the effort” we say as we lick our imaginary wounds.
Yet this is the very
season to press on and not give up.
one of the ladies at His Place received this past Sunday
“I felt the bottom of my shoes sticking to the ground as if I had gum on
the bottom of them or the floor was sticky.
I felt God impressing on me that we are entering into a season of
perseverance and building our endurance.
I felt the Lord say, "This
army needs to keep marching. Even if it seems you're not moving. Keep marching
in place." If we stop marching, our
feet will get stuck. I, then, felt like we were riding a bike. We are to keep pedaling until God leaves us
breathless.”

“…Even if it seems
you’re not moving…”
Perseverance is most
necessary when you are walking into the wind –
not when the wind is
at your back!
Perseverance is most
necessary when the test is the greatest.
Maybe you feel like
your feet are sticking to the ground.
Keep marching.
Perhaps it’s like
running in loose sand.
Don’t stop – keep marching.
Can you hear the
cadence call of heaven?
Keep marching saints!
