So, it is the end of the first month in 2012. Most new years resolutions have been long forgotten, vows Broken, and promises forsaken. After this first month I cannot say that i have been sin or gluten free, but there is a theme that GOD has made apparent for me…ENDURANCE.
Endurance is not only that thing you need when you want to run a 5k or swim a long distance, its what WE need to continue in our Walks with the LORD. Living in such a microwave, instant gratification generation is all centers about the NOW! I want it NOW, and if i pray and don't get it now I suddenly have an issue with GOD, crying out to Him like, LORD where are you? Don't you hear me? In those times he gently speaks over me how he is teaching me to ENDURE, working somthing in me that cannot be taught, read from a Christian book, or bought from a store. If anointing and purpose has brought me to this season of the World Race, it is for sure that endurance will keep me. Keep me reading the WORD when I don't understand how to deal with adversity. Keep me on my knees praying through every situation, and even keep me from breaking down when I experience human feelings such as home sickness, and fatigue. I encourage you all to endure in these seasons my brothers and sisters. Know that where ever GOD is leading you through the mountain top, or the valley that He will keep you, and He will keep His promises. Wait patiently for those seemingly unanswered prayers, and remember a delay is NOT a denial. The WORD of GOD says that we shall reap if we don't faint. So don't give up, NEVER give up. I have seen GOD manifest my most beautiful blessings through times of endurance that taught me how to trust Him. Believe it, receive it…
A beautiful Scripture to rely on in this time is James 1: 2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
It shall come to pass…
