The word that is coming up in my Spirit today is "endurance". Endurance is the ability or strength that God has given you to continue and to last despite fatigue, stress, and adverse conditions. It is easy to give up and it is easy to quit midstream, but God said in His Word that he that endures shall be saved.
We have to learn how to press on even when its hard. The thing about pressing that you have to understand is that it requires strength and force. Think about being in a crowd that you have to press through. You would never get through the crowd by standing still. In some cases, the crowd would overtake you. We can't stand still and allow the situations in our lives to overtake us. We have to press on in faith and prayer. We have to press into God's Word and trust Him to honor it in our lives.
We have to get to the point where giving up is not an option. We have to say to ourselves that we will endure to the end. We have to draw on the strength, power, and ability that God has endowed us with and continue on despite how tired we are, how stressed we are, and no matter what conditions we see in the natural.
We have to know that God is with us and that we can, shall, and will make it. We have to trust and believe that God will honor His promises in our lives as long as we press through the fear of failure and trust Him through the trials of life.
SCRIPTURE MEDITATIONHebrews 12:1-3
King James Version (KJV)
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
