Day 4 FAITH challenge

My faith requires perseverance. Day one I said I was activating my faith, standing on God's Word, holding to His promise, giving my situations and circumstance over to Him ,trusting Him to fix it, heal it, deliver it, restore it, refresh it, do whatever He needs to do to it! That does not mean that whatever it is will change overnight. Standing, waiting, trusting, all action words. They require not only patience like I mentioned yesterday but perseverance. According to Google: per·se·ver·ance is steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. 

WOW!!! Just those few simple words mentioned above are acts of perseverance. They may seem small because action doesn't seem to be taking place but just the act of staying put, standing my ground, holding on to what I believe, knowing God is working behind the scenes, knowing that He's in the details I'm yet persevering and I do believe that at the end of this 30 day journey the benefit of really applying God's Word, consistently and purposefully to my life will show forth God's glory concerning whatever situations I'm going through. Hope this encourages you to persevere as well. A great example of one who persevered in the Bible is the woman with the issue of blood, (Luke 8:43-48) she pressed her way to get to Jesus. She persevered and when she arrived and was found out, she explained. She believed before she even got to Him. She believed by faith that Jesus could heal her. She pressed her way!
