Endurance and Faithfulness

Scripture: Revelations 13:10 If anyone is to go into captivity,
into captivity he will go.
If anyone is to be killed with the sword,
with the sword he will be killed.

This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of the saints.

Observation: As a saint I should have endurance and faithfulness, which I lack. I lack patience, wanting things to happen right away, endurance also is not my strength, I give up quickly and faithfulness dwindles in my life as my mind tries to calculate different scenarios without factoring God’s plan. I lack these things because I trust in myself most of the time instead of trusting God. I’m so worried making my plans work that I forget it’s God’s plan I need to be doing.

Application: Faith is what I need to work on because with faith all else will come around. Knowing God has a plan and that He will work it out in His timing and not mine will give me the patience and the endurance that will be needed. God has never let me down and there is no reason not to trust and so I shall.

Prayer: Dear Lord increase my faith. Open my heart to all that you have already done and embrace your servant that I may feel your love always and not be distracted with my own thoughts and worries.
