Some things come and shake our faith, we face a crisis, and we feel like giving up. Yet, we must be courageous and meet them by the power of God. And we must endure those times because there is a reward. We need to build our confidence in Christ; our tribulations and trials strengthen our faith. If we don’t do what he says, which is persevering, we might not receive the blessing he has promised us.
Enduring in this life requires some paths you must follow, firstly is the path of love. When you love God, it doesn’t matter anything that may come your way; you can never stop obeying the word of God, which is a guide to you.
Enduring requires focus, too; you need to focus on Jesus alone; he will be your motivation. Hebrews 12:2 “fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.”
