Perseverance also means endurance and can be defined as “faith stretched out”. It involves trusting God for a long duration.


•Tested Faith:
brings about a depth of character – Romans 5:3-5.
enables us to comfort and encourage others –
2 Corinthians 1:3-5.
increases our dependance on God for wisdom –
James 1:5, 3:17-18.
encourages us to lead a productive and effective life –
2 Peter 1:5-9.
helps us identify with Christ – Matthew 4:1-11, Hebrews 5:7-10
allows us to focus on our future hope in Christ –
Romans 8:18-24


If you lack wisdom, it’s simple, “ask God” for it. He will give it generously to all who asks for it.


When you ask God for wisdom you are showing humility is admitting you don’t know everything and only God has the answers, and you are trusting in Him for the right guidance.


There is only one condition from God to giving His gift of wisdom to you, that is faith.

If you don’t have the faith and confidence that God will do what He says He will do, then He will not give you what you do not truly trust Him for.


Death interrupts our schedule, our busyness, our best-laid plans. It is foolish to trust in what will not last. Earthly Riches don’t last but Jesus and His security for us will last for eternity!


A Christ follower should never shift the blame but takes full responsibility for their actions and asks God and others for forgiveness.

Desires can be fed or starved – If we encourage our desires they will soon lead to actions.

Even Jesus was tempted by Satan in the desert, but He did not sin.


How is God speaking to you today?


Won’t you come and humbly submit to Him today and give it all to Him and start trusting in Him to do all that He can and will do in your life.
