Merry Christmas! Today is Day 5 of the Made to Crave Devotional:
"You know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work." James 1:3-4a
Thought of the Day: Between any trial and the blessing that comes from that trial, there is a pathway I must walk - that pathway is perseverance.
P-e-r-s-e-v-e-r-a-n-c-e. Mr. Webster defines perseverance: continued effort to do or achieve something despite difficulties, failures or opposition. I want to have the kind of perseverance to continue running the race of following God no matter what opposition I encounter. I do truly want that, but I sit here smirking at myself & how many times I have tried the quick fix or a short cut. I'm not talking just about diet & exercise, I can see this approach in many aspects of my life. YUCK! I'm grateful that my Heavenly Father is longsuffering & loves me despite Him knowing my every thought, word, action & motivation!
