Perserverence

Wow, what a blessed and wonderful day we are living in this day! We are truly living in a day that He has made so lets make a decision to be glad and rejoice in it!

I have a note clipped to made desk lamp in my office. On it reads the definition of perseverance which is, Steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., especially in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement. I find myself reading it multiple times each day and thanking God that the strength for me to perserver is not my own but His.

I know many of your facing different things this day as we also have been here in this US Office. But I want you to know that whatever it is, you are not alone! We walk this day & every day with the Creator of ALL that is good, right, and Holy. We can and will perserver through this time and anything else that tries to come our way, not by our works and ideas BUT through His. It has to be His ideas & timing to be eternal and life long other wise it will be just a band-aid for a moment. I have been listening to Brother Keith Moore teach and he made a statement that set me free, and it was this, "Don't fill in the blanks". I myself have been very guilty of filling in the blanks on things if God has not given me the answer by the time I thought I needed it. But Keith is not filling in the blanks anymore, and with that gives me peace because it is on Him and not me any longer! I am not going to carry the weight of something that I have not yet the answer for.

Whatever you are facing in this day the Word says in 1 Peter 5:7 (AMP) Casting the whole of your care (all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all) on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully. We have to a make decision to release, wait, and hear from Him and while we are doing this, perseverence by His strength will bring us through.

Keep Reaching Forward,
Keith
