Demand Of Perseverance “And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them” (Judges 8:4). Accomplished long distance runners always attribute their success to sheer endurance skill. Life is an endless terrain of unyielding battles and it is only the fittest and the patient that can survive. A writer once remarked that evil never surrenders without a grim battle. For every Christian, there are battles and obstacles to overcome. Mercifully, God gives power to the faint and increases strength for the weary. Assured of His divine enablement, the believer ought to relax in the comforting hands of the Almighty, confident that when the going gets tough and seemingly impossible, there is always an Anchor that keeps the soul. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Perseverance begets victory.
