FULFILLMENT
Endure
Dr. Angela Seals
Although you may be ascending into life's purpose and your destiny is blossoming to increased dimensions DON'T GET STUCK IN THE RUT OF DISPLACENCY!...because you have been suddenly struck by hardships. Remember, a hard ship can overcome the beating waves of adversity particularly if you allow Jesus to rest in the boat with you!
Throwing in the towel is never a king's option. So, just fold the same towel you were about to toss in the ring and continue to fight the good fight of faith as you endure! Well, what makes the fight so good? A good fight will always work out for the establishment of your benefit, advantage, and profit. Enduring trials are part of God's training ground for perspective leaders and for leaders who are about to become the master over many.
Do you know how many people may be anxiously waiting for you to bail ship? Never give purpose busters the opportunity to see you sweat! Be faithful to what God is allowing and ordaining for your life, because promotion is inevitable. Even as you are fulfilling your destiny and your purpose be willing to meet God's challenges victoriously and various trials with a disciplined mind. Hebrews 12:1-3 gives the following wise instruction.
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily hinders our progress. And let us run with endurance the race that God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, on Whom our faith depends from start to finish. He was willing to die a shameful death on the cross because of the joy He knew would be His afterward. Now He is seated in the place of highest honor beside God's throne in heaven. Think about all He endured when sinful people did such terrible things to Him, so that you don't become weary and give up. Hebrew 12:1-3 (NLT)
