Perseverance is not a favorite word of mine. It conjures up things I don’t like such as “waiting” and “overcoming” and “gutting through hard times.” But the Bible talks about perseverance like it is a big deal and highly prized.<\/p>\n

Luke 8:15 says that disciples of Jesus will “bear fruit with perseverance.”<\/b> And James 1:12 tells us; “Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial.”<\/b> How can we come to hold perseverance in a more favorable light? How can we treasure it? We need to look to the end result more.<\/p>\n

I have a friend who persevered in prayer for her husband’s salvation. For more than fourteen years she looked to God’s promises instead of the man before her who seemed such a poor candidate to ever surrender his will to God. She needed perseverance because year after year there was no change.<\/p>\n

Well, finally, when the change came, how glad she was that she hung on. The satisfaction she felt in seeing her husband born-again was worth it in the end. But beside results for her husband her perseverance had a good effect on her too. She became a deep, seasoned, mature Christian and she cannot be easily shaken.<\/p>\n

If you feel perseverance is being worked in you right now, don’t despise that. You will come to the end; things will not always be this way. And what will you find when it is all over? That “you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”<\/b> (James 1:4) Hang on!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
