The Bible often talks about Endurance: Matthew 24:13,"But the one who has endured to the end will be saved." James 5:11,"...endurance of Job..." I love these scriptures, James 1:2-4 "Consider it all joy, my brothers, when you meet with various trials, knowing as you do that this tested quality of your faith produces endurance. But let endurance complete its work, so that you may be complete and sound in all respects, not lacking in anything." Now the question is "let endurance complete its work". What does it mean? What is endurance? My favorite definition I think you are going to love it too when you read it!!! I quote: In the Bible, enduring means more than simply putting up with trials or adversity. Endurance involves our mind and heart, or the way we react to hardships. A person who endures manifests courage, steadfastness, and patience. Here it goes, my fav: Endurance is "the spirit which can bear things, not simply with resignation, but with blazing hope. It is the quality which keeps a man on his feet with his face to the wind. It is the virtue which can transmute the hardest trial into glory because beyond the pain it sees the goal." Isn't that beautiful !?! Now, "let endurance complete its work" what work must endurance complete ? It helps us to be "complete and sound in all respects, not lacking in anything." James 1:4. Trials often reveal our weaknesses, aspects of our Christian personality that we need to refine. If we endure trials, our Christian personality become more complete, or sound. We may become more patient, appreciative, compassionate... It says we not lack in anything. So the joy comes from when we endure a trial in a Godly way, we become a better person at the end of a trial than who we are begin with. We will have less weaknesses and we have an opportunity to taste how God helps us to endure and have an opportunity for his close personal attention on us. I hope this gives you comfort and strength to keep enduring with blazing hope, with your feet on the ground with your face to the wind. Stay courageous, steadfast and patient! Love, Linn |
