Persevere

So, do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere, so that when you have done the will of God, you receive what He has promised. For just a very little while, He who is coming will come and will not delay. But my righteous one will live by faith. Hebrews 10:35-36 The writer encourages his readers not to abandon their faith in times of persecution, but to show by their endurance that their faith is real. Faith means resting at what Christ has done for us in the past, but it also means trusting for what He will do for us in the present and in the future. If you are hanging out there on the low limb, don't forget the One who made the tree. Look up, the Lord is waiting to give you a hand . . . and a new heart. Heavenly Father, touch the ones who are struggling just now, and give them strength to persevere, in Jesus' Name. Amen. God Bless you, J.H.
