The word for today is perseverance.
“And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us” (Rom. 5:3-5).
“Now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus” (Rom. 15:5).
“But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it” (Rom. 8:25).
“Rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer” (Rom. 12:12).
I will not quit! I am determined to stay by the stuff! I will finish the race!
Prayer: Lord, thank You that Your strength is made perfect in my weakness and that, with You, I will persevere.
