The Ascent

DAY 10 OF 15

PERSEVERANCE

God often gives us glimpses of what our future could be, but He rarely shows us the full picture. Frustration may come at times, because of the gap between where we are now and the dream that God has put inside of us. This is where perseverance comes into the picture. Perseverance can be defined as doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success.

Hope and perseverance work together. We can persevere through tough and dry seasons because we have hope in God for a better future. 

We can trust and believe that God will fulfil the dreams He has put in our hearts in His perfect timing.

About this Plan

The Ascent

The Ascent… is an invitation to climb. It’s an invitation to proximity. It’s an invitation to intimacy. In the Old Testament there are 15 psalms of ascent. They are songs that Israel sang on their way to celebrate God at festivals. They express amazing grace and they quiet anxious fears. They are songs that provide courage and support as we travel the road of faith and discover who we are and what God’s called us to. It has been said that the Psalms of Ascent are like placing your feet in the footprints of others and reminding ourselves to be moved again; to keep walking forward in the direction of God. This devotional is an invitation to lift our eyes and to ascend the heights; to becoming Jesus’ climbing companions.
