“Perseverance is failing nineteen times and succeeding the twentieth.” – -Julie Andrew
That’s what I read yesterday in a publication.
I love the word perseverance.
The Bible talks also about perseverance. The verse in Hebrews 11:27 has been a great blessing in my life. It says there,”….; he (Moses) persevered because he saw him who is invisible.” That is the verse according to the New International Version.
But I must have read the RSV, when this verse became really meaningful to me, because it is underlined there with ink. There it says,”…..; for he endured as seeing him who is invisible.”
I asked my wife, “Is there a difference between perseverance and endurance?” She thinks both words have the same meaning, but I looked the words up in the dictionary. You can look up the words also and find out for yourself!
Moses saw him who is invisible.
What do you see, when there is a need for you to persevere? When there is a need for you to endure? Are you looking into a black hole? Or are you seeing him who is invisible like Moses?
I THINK IT HAS ALL TO DO WITH OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR LORD AND SAVIOUIR JESUS CHRIST!!
Do you have a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ?
