Cultivating Perserance in These Life Challenging Times 2 Cor 4:8-9

 There are ways to cultivate :(1)seize the day- yesterday is done and tomorrow hasn't come yet.(2) plan ahead, (3) learn to say No and(4) stay true to who you are.

The theme Scripture let us know that the Hand of God was controlling Paul's persecution, keeping him within manageable proportions.

Perseverance- Jeremiah was blessed by God, tasked with preaching God's Word to His people.  To keep them safe from injury, harm or destruction. Perseverance comes from falling and getting back up.  Keep your goal in mind and understand resistance.

Paul is the ultimate example of perseverance in the New Testament like Apostle Paul, the Persistent Widow and many others but Jesus is our ultimate example of all.  True believers bear fruit with perseverance {Luke 8:15} Our perseverance is rooted in our salvation. areskridge6840@att.net
