The Power of Persistence: God’s Gift to You

Then the Lord said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid. Do not give up.”

(Joshua 8:1)


Your tenacity and determination may cause you to be labeled stubborn or hard-headed.  While it might not always seem like a gift, this character trait is a valuable asset that God has instilled in you for your particular journey.

When others may get discouraged or give up, you continue to persevere. You do not see quitting as an option. You find your greatest success comes from the simple practice of persistence.

You encounter seasons of struggle, but the difficulties never get inside your head. God has protected your mind with an unyielding resolve which enables you to resist both internal and external pressures.

There are times in your life when fear may seem to be the logical response. Other times, discouragement may cast its shadow across your path. But you have been designed by the Creator of the Universe and He has constructed you with a supernatural ability to withstand such forces.
