“Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.” (Job 13:15, NKJV)
“Perseverance means more than endurance – more than simply holding on until the end. A saint’s life is in the hands of God like a bow and arrow in the hands of an archer. God is aiming at something the saint cannot see, but our Lord continues to stretch and strain …
Faith is not some weak and pitiful emotion, but is strong and vigorous confidence built on the fact that God is holy love. And even though you cannot see Him right now and cannot understand what He is doing, you know Him …
The real meaning of eternal life is a life that can face anything it has to face without wavering. If we will take this view, life will become one great romance – a glorious opportunity of seeing wonderful things all the time.”
(Oswald Chambers, My Utmost For His Highest, May 8)

“Without wavering.”
This is truly the test.
Happy Mother’s Day!
I love this. I used to think perseverance was just gritting your teeth and holding on til the storm passes by. It’s so much more.
What a great way to look at perseverance! Happy Mother’s Day.
What a wonderful perspective on perseverance. I hope I can take that “glorious view”! Hope your Mother’s Day was wonderful!
I do love Oswald Chambers.
