Endurance

Endurance

Endurance can be defined as “the fact or power of enduring an unpleasant or difficult process or situation without giving way.”  In all of our lives, we experience situations that require us to endure various trials and tribulations.  The key is to stay the course and never give up.  Have you ever thought about from where that endurance comes?  Paul encourages us to know that endurance comes from Christ.

Inspired by the Holy Spirit, Paul wrote, “But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one. And we are confident in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do the things we commanded you. May the Lord lead your hearts into a full understanding and expression of the love of God and the patient endurance that comes from Christ.”  2 Thessalonians 3:3-5 (NLT)
