Thank you for sending me this, Carol Dixon-Haemker. Press on! Consider this: Redemption is one of the greatest doctrines in the Bible, seen in its most glorious application at the cross of Jesus Christ. He paid the price you couldn’t pay so you could be set free. So “Fear not,” God says. You had the worst possible problem, which required the greatest imaginable sacrifice, and He took care of it. Do you think it’s all over because you have some smaller problems? The Lord redeemed you just as surely as He redeemed Israel. “I have called you by name, you are mine.” What will He not do for you now? There is nothing good that God brings into your life by way of transformation that He doesn’t bring through the funnel of perseverance. Entrust your soul to your faithful Creator (see 1 Peter 4:19). God is faithful to you, and His hand is on the thermostat. The fire will not get too hot. He’s watching the depth gauge; this trial will not get too deep. You don’t know what you are capable of when you’re resting in God’s strength and not your own—but He does. Reassure yourself, I’m not going under. You can keep going for another day, because God is producing staying power in you. The ability to remain in that marriage or that job—as hard as it is. The ability to stick with that difficult circumstance—no matter what. If you let God work perseverance into your life, He can truly make you what He wants you to be. --Our Journey Online by James McDonald youtu.be/_Bg2cJ5bw2k
