Endurance

 

 

Ecclesiastes 7:8 “Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.” 

 

 

  When you take on a new challenge or task do you begin with the thought you will not complete the challenge?? No because if you did you would never begin. Most people are success driven and determined to accomplish something. In taking on a challenge we reach a point where we become weary and tired. Where are arms feel weak and we only have determination and pure drive to continue to move forward. Where do you turn to continue on? What is it that pushes you? It is in that moment that your endurance shows.
