You have need of endurance

You have need of endurance

" You have need of endurance , that, after you have done the will of God, you might receive the promise." Hebrews 10:36

The full enjoyment of what our God has promised is future. We "have not yet come to the rest and inheritance which the Lord our God gives us." Now we have foes to encounter, and trials and tribulations to endure—and we have need of endurance.

Sometimes, under the pressure of afflictions, cares, and anxieties, we may be ready to exclaim with the psalmist, "Oh! that I had wings like a dove, for then would I fly away and be at rest."

But it is better earnestly to pray for grace to endure, and patiently to wait the Lord's time of deliverance—for His time is always the best.

Christian, as you feel your need of endurance, repair to your treasury—for all fullness of grace dwells in Christ. By faith, look to Him who bled and died for you—and He will help you to endure whatever suffering you may be called to bear.

He will enable you patiently to wait all the days of your appointed time until your change comes. Sometimes to "sense" the waiting time is long—but to faith it is but a little while. "For yet a little while, and He who shall come will come, and will not tarry."
