Keep Going
“For consider him who endured such hostility from sinners against himself, so that you won’t grow weary and give up.”
Hebrews 12:3 CSB
If we are living intentionally to advance God’s kingdom, we will grow weary. Our souls and bodies grow tired with time and age. Life’s harsh realities put a wet towel on our fiery passion which once burned brightly. But we find hope to endure when we look at the cross. As we think on the person and work of Jesus, we place our hope in the One who endured immense hostility to the point of death on the cross. He did this so we would not give up. As the great crowd of witnesses spurs you on, keep running the race set before you with endurance, with your eyes ever fixed on the Savior. While it may take years or decades to see that friend, family member or your one come to Christ, “be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain” (1 Corinthians 15:58).
Pray the Lord would give you endurance as you share the gospel with your one. (From “Who’s Your One?” Devotional, NAMB)
