Perseverance

It was said of Jesus, "Behold! My Servant whom I uphold, My Elect One in whom My soul delights! I have put my Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles...He will not fail nor be discouraged... Isaiah 42: 1, 4

And, Jesus said of the Father, "He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever - the Spirit of truth...John 14:16-17

Everyone participates in the race - called life. No one is adverse to hardship and trials. Everyone, who surrenders the right to their life, to Christ, is given the Presence, Pardon, and Power...

Giving yourself over to the God of promise, an act of humility, is to run the race of life in the very strength and power that is unfailing!

Sovereign God, I surrender the right to be my own god. I put my trust in the goodness of your mercy. Holy God, lead me by your Spirit, that in all things, triumphs or trials, your grace will be a witness of your life in me…
