For you have need of steadfast patience and endurance, so that you may perform and fully accomplish the will of God, and thus receive and carry away [and enjoy to the full] what is promised. Hebrews 10:36
Well, I know I've hit on this and hit on this many times since beginning this 52 day challenge to myself, but I believe it is the word of the Lord. The Lord is speaking to us. He wants us to hear Him because He wants us to hold fast to our faith and not lose heart or grow weary or fall into unbelief. We have NEED of steadfast patience and endurance! The going is tough right now, and it seems that the answer is not coming. Hold fast!
I believe that we have rounded the last base and are on the home stretch. It's tough, you're tired, and the devil is waiting at home plate to lay you out, but Hold Fast! You've made it this far, now don't give up! I know your legs are tired. I know your head is pounding, and your heart is racing. I know it looks like there's no way you will finish the winner because the enemy has pulled out all the stops. Yet, Hold Fast!
It is gonna be sooooooo worth it! You can't even imagine what the Lord has in store for you. Your wildest dreams or deepest desires cannot compare to what He has waiting for you. I want you to hold fast. Do give up! Keep on keeping on! Run the race! Press on! You can do it! I know you can! You are over 3/4 of the way there. There's nothing stopping you now! I can see you in my mind's eye crossing home plate, rejoicing as Jesus stands there, arms wide open, embracing you because you held fast.
Can you see it? I hope you can. If not, ask the Lord to increase your faith and help you see what He sees!
