What happens next is up to you. Are you ready to go all the way with God? Going all the way takes faith! Are you ready to start out in faith and stay in faith until you see what God told you would be the end result? Are you ready to push past the naysayers and to look past the hindrances so that you can keep your eyes on the promises of God? Understand, you have to not only be ready, you have to be willing to endure until the end!
To endure means to suffer something painful and difficult patiently. That’s a hard thing to do. Just the word suffer makes us want to turn away, run away, and say we don’t want to do that but sometimes we have to suffer for a season for a reason. We have to learn how to endure suffering as a good soldier. Jesus did it. He suffered on the cross, SO THAT WE COULD LIVE.
Our daily walk requires faith. If we don’t have faith, we can never see what God has promised. We won’t be able to look past our present situation and we will always dwell in the pain of our past. We have to learn how to fuel our faith by reading and meditating on the Word of God.
Then we have to take that Word and run with it. We have to keep our eyes on it and we have to trust in our hearts that God will bring it to pass i in our lives.
SCRIPTURE MEDITATION
Hebrews 12:2
King James Version (KJV)
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.
