Endurance

Often times life comes at us fast and furious.  It takes ENDURANCE and can stretch us as we endure the day struggles of life.  But God is able to give us everything we need to not only get through, but endure life's most trying moments.  He who endures will gain wisdom and renewed strength by walking through each trial.  Here is an acrostic that gives some great tips on Endurance:

E ternity and what is eternal is more important to you than time and what is temporal!
N ecessary it may be that you are distressed by various trials, but look ahead to the time when you will be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ!

D ay by day your inner man is renewed though the outer man decays, so you don’t lose heart!

U nseen is what you should place far above the seen. Don’t look at the things which are seen but at the things which are not seen, for the things which are seen are temporal but the things which are not seen are eternal. Endure, persevere joyously, contentedly, hopefully, patiently in the midst of all your pain and endure because what is eternal is so much more valuable!

R ejoice in suffering, because you know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint, because God has poured out his love into your heart by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given to you!

A lways excel in the work of your Lord, be steadfast, unmovable, because you know that the work that you do for the Lord isn't wasted.

N o turning Back! There’s No turning back for you!

C hrist likeness is your goal. Press toward that! Christ is everything! For you to live is Christ and to die is gain. Constantly anticipate His appearing!

E ternal weight of glory that this momentary light affliction is producing is worth it all!
