“Perseverance’s Power”
by Dona Hake
“Let us run with endurance the race that
is set before us, looking onto Jesus, the
author and finisher of our faith, who for
the joy that was set before him endured
the cross, despising the shame, and has
sat down at the right hand of the
throne of God.“
Hebrews 12:1-2 NKJV
We all face our fair share of road blocks and stumbling blocks in our life. Such blocks cause us to stop and make a decision. Will it be courage or discouragement? Will it be patience for impatience? Will it be strength or will it be weariness? My friends, we must purpose to persevere for our Lord Jesus Christ has set before us an example to live by. He is the ultimate example of perseverance and attaining any goal that we have.
Father God, we thank you this day for Your Son Jesus. We thank you for how He has taught us to persevere, and how to live for He persevered and He is the author and finisher of our faith. He set the joy before Him, and endured in the Cross, He despised the shame, and He sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. May we also run with that same endurance the race You have set before us, as we persevere drawing upon Your grace, and Your strength. In Jesus name amen.
