Take a BowSample

I don’t know about you, but sometimes, I lack confidence in my abilities. For example, I would probably fail if you asked me to dunk a basketball, perfectly play a song by Beethoven on the piano, or even bake the perfect cookie. In the same way, skills like playing a sport, playing an instrument, or baking, require perseverance and endurance that force us to grow; holding fast to our faith and having confidence in God’s power through difficulty will build endurance and strength within us.

In Hebrews, the writer encourages us to hold on to our confidence and trust in God’s power. The writer says that trusting in God’s power will be greatly rewarded with God’s promises. The writer explains that if we try to do God’s will, we will go through hard things that push us. Trying to follow Jesus in this world will be hard, but it will lead us to trust more deeply in God and not give up when difficulties come our way.

How is God building endurance in you today? Bring your challenges to God in prayer, asking God to increase your confidence and faith. Remember, God is for you, guiding you through every challenge and helping build your endurance.
