Perseverance

From: Boyd Bailey Ministries

Hebrews 10:36 "You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised." 

The fortitude to press forward in the face of resistance is the mark of a steady saint. God’s will is momentarily celebrated on the mountain top, but most of the time is lived climbing a rocky face or regaining balance along a slippery slope. Traversing up or down requires perseverance.  

What is the will of God for you right now? You can’t go wrong doing the next right thing. Don’t be overwhelmed with what needs to happen six months from now, rather focus on living today to its fullest. Ask the Holy Spirit to fill you with faith and wisdom for today. Doing God’s will today leads to doing God’s will tomorrow.

Your Heavenly Father sympathizes with your tension over two conflicting options. He wants you to use this test to lean into His heart and mind. You do God’s will by doing the next right thing. Walk close with Christ and He will lead you in His will.
