Is endurance, or persistence, a vanishing virtue in American today? It seems as if too many people find it easier to give up when faced with opposition or difficulty.
Paul tells us in Romans 5:3 to rejoice in our sufferings. If we are doing the work the Lord has called us to do, we are going to face problems. You can bank on it. Satan is not going to sit by as we do kingdom work. It's against his nature.
What if Moses had given up because Pharaoh threatened him? What if David had refused to prepare to become king because Saul wanted him dead? Or consider Paul giving up the ministry after he tired of being run out of towns and surviving shipwrecks. As Christians there is no shortage of issues we need to fight against.
Are you close to quitting? Don't do it.
Are you tired of trying to live for Christ? Hang in there.
Do you feel like giving up on the Christian life? Roll up your sleeves and get back to work.
Remember, you are never a failure until you give up.
