Whispers of His Power - 30 Days of Inspiration

DAY 16 OF 30

Endurance

"He that shall endure unto the end" those words come three times in the Gospels. In Hebrews 3:6 and 14, we have "firm unto the end" and "steadfast unto the end." Twice, the thought of hope is linked up with the word. "If we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end, and The full assurance of hope unto the end" (Heb. 6:11).

How much easier it would be if we knew when hearts that are holding out against the Lord would yield or when some private trial of our own would pass. It was like that in Bible days; there was the same temptation to tire in hope and to fail in the joy of hope, to weaken and get slack.

So we have those glorious, strong words in the Gospels and Hebrews, and there is another that is sheer joy—First Corinthians 1:8: "Our Lord Jesus Christ, who will also keep you steadfast to the very end" (Weymouth).

So we can turn Jude 1:24–25 into praise and thanksgiving. “Now unto Him that is able to keep us from falling and to present us faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy . . . be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.”
