Endurance

To learn strong faith is to endure great trials. I have learned my faith by standing firm amid severe testings. –George Mueller

Do not be surprised, then, dear child of God, if you are tempted at every step of your earthly journey, and almost beyond endurance; but you will not be tempted beyond what you are able to bear, and with every temptation there will be a way of escape. — F.B. Meyer

Are temptations blessings when it reveals weaknesses and drive us to the Almighty Savior? Can God say to Satan have you tried my servant Tangie knowing I, you, will keep the faith and pass the test?

Do you believe your life as a Christian can be compared to running a marathon while enduring pain and exhaustion to make it to the finish line? If so, was it easy for you in the beginning and it is now difficult to continue running the race?

Job, Apostle Paul and many others went through extreme hardships but endured to the end. What about us? How many of us will endure to finish line?

In hardship, we must keep our eyes on our Almighty God and remain faithful even unto death.

There are numerous Bible verses that speak on this topic. For example, in 2 Timothy 4:6 “For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.” Can we truthfully say that we have kept the faith?
