When The Going Gets Tough...
"Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him." (James 1:12)
Persevere = TO REMAIN
"When things get tough, are we like everyone else? Do we look like the world? Or is there anything of value in our walks with Jesus? As Christians, we have the responsibility to bear the stress until God accomplishes his purposes. God furnishes the power to persevere!! "
What would it take for us, as Christians, to throw in the towel? Often times there seems to be so much stress in our lives to the point that we just want to quit and give up, but Jesus tells us that those who persevere will receive the crown of life that God has promised! We don't run this race aimlessly - we have a goal... a prize that is not found in man - people will let us down! In fact, people DO let us down! Praise God that we do not work for the approval of man! When the stress of this world presses against us, we must always remember that "JESUS IS WORTH BEING FAITHFUL FOR, REGARDLESS OF THE STRESS!" Let us do everything for Him, for His glory!!
Most of the time you hear the statement, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going", but that should not be true of us! We should not try to run away or escape when things are hard!! Instead, let us say, "When the going gets tough, the tough hang in there!"
So... hang in there!! Jesus is worth it!!
Come Lord Jesus, Come!! Won't you Come!!
