Endurance is a tricky thing. Choosing to keep doing no matter what. No matter how hard no matter how tough It is.
Endurance requires determination. Determination to defeat the enemy no matter what. Determination to let nothing stop you. Determination that regardless of what life hangs you your Going to move forward. Nothing can stop you. No turning to the right or left.
And if you can't see the path keep pushing. Keep walking in faith. One for after
the other. One step at a time. Focusing on the end goal even if you can't see the path. Being the best you can each and every minute of the day no matter how you feel like behaving. No matter what lies from Satan your hearing in your head. No matter who thinks what of you. You must have the word sown deep in your heart to endure. So that when hardship or temptation come the first thing you retreat to it scripture. It Has the enduring power!!! It has stood the test of time! It has endured everything and still stands!
Psalms 100:5“For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.”
Mark 4:14The sower soweth the word. 15And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. 16And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; 17And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended. 18And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, 19And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. 20And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.
1 Esdras 4:38“As for the truth, it endureth, and is always strong; it liveth and conquereth for evermore.”
1 Peter 1:25“But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.”
