So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! 36 Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.

Hebrews 10:35-36 NLT

When we first encountered the Lord, we were lit on fire. We were envigorated, enlightened, and willing to endure anything for God’s glory. Yet, as time went on, the fire didn’t always shine as bright. Constantly enduring the challenges of this world get tiring and can cause your light to dim, but there are promises tied to your endurance.

God rewards confidence in Him.

Today, I want to encourage you to persevere! Don’t dismiss your heavenly encounter. Stay encouraged and trust in God. Your endurance will be rewarded with eternal life. Keep pressing forward step by step in God’s will. Believe in His promises. He who promised is faithful.

Reflect – Where have you allowed your flame for God to dim? Take a moment and offer it up in prayer for God to reignite.

Advent Reflections – Even in the Waiting – Day 2

I have been lost a time or two. Usually, because I got distracted and wandered off the intended path. Whatever sparked my interest was enough to cause me to lose sight of my intended destination. In this passage, we find Jesus as a child, so focused on His Father’s business that he wanders off from his parents. In my own life, I’ve found that I’m not prone to wander towards my father’s business….but away from it.
