Having God

Perseverance

Sheila Copp Season 2 Episode 3

Have you ever heard of the saying, “When life gives you lemons make lemonade?” They’re essentially saying life will not always be roses and chocolates or a walk in the park. It’s probably going to be sour sometimes. It’s probably going to rain, probably going to snow, and it’s probably going to get worse before it gets better. But regardless, get going and moving and keep living! Don’t lay down and die. Don’t give up the fight. Don’t wish it’s over and hand your life to the enemy of our soul – Satan, because this is exactly what his plans are for us: to kill us and to destroy us. He wants us to give up our own fight for ever lasting life. He wants us to lay down and die and give up. But tell him, “Heck, no! I’m going to keep believing on Jesus. I’m not going to give up. I’m going to persevere. I’m going to keep living.” Dry your tears, straighten your back and smile, because the Lord still reigns. He continues to be God of all creation, and there is nothing too hard with Him. If you can think and imagine your way out of your circumstances, He can bring all those desires to pass. He can make all your desires a reality. Just wait on the Lord and watch for His work, and persevere to the end, believing in Him to come through.

You know the secret to life’s triumphs and successes? It’s perseverance. It’s the spirit to keep going and having the grit to say, “Whatever happens I’m not going to quit. I’m not going to give up.” The Bible tell us that,

“The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.” {Ecclesiastes 9:11}
