Unrelenting

Only those who are unrelenting will see their expectations come to pass.

Unrelenting is defined as: not letting up or weakening in vigor or pace.

Paul encouraged us with this verse:

“Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm.

Let nothing move you.

Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.”

I Corinthians 15:58

To relent is to give in, give up and to throw in the towel in the face of opposition.

What greater example can we have of someone who was unrelenting than Jesus.

“...For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

All of hell was arrayed in opposition to the Son of God.

But it was not enough to stop Him from completing the Father’s will.

We too have a wonderful inheritance that we can walk in now.

But it will not be realized if we surrender to those who come to oppose what God wants to do in your life - whoever or whatever it may be!

Should you be struggling now with opposition, remind yourself of Paul’s words –

“...Let nothing move you...”

Indeed!
