TOPIC: STAND FIRM

TEXT : "...For you have need of steadfast patience" ( Hebrew 1

One of the toughest times is when all we know about God seem not to be helping us get our desired results. That is when we learn about His silence.

Whenever God doesn't say a word (a) He is teaching us even in His stillness (b) He is allowing us to grow by forcing us to think, study and arrive at conclusions, while He stands by with a hushed smile and a watchful eyes. He is fathering us!

Faith comes by hearing, patience comes by silence! Patience is what God gives you when bad things remain unchanged and expectations are not met. It's God sedative for your troubled heart. It's the balm He rubs into your aching muscles when you feel like you are been stretched to your breaking point. These are the times that the pain last so long that only God can give the patience required, and the sheer grace to sustain you. The truth is patience is nothing but strength harnessed, power focused and faith taking its time.

Listen, just keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and will finish this race we are in. Study how He did it. Because He never lost sight of where He was headed- that exhilarating finish in and with God- He could put up with anything along the way: The Cross,  shame, the pain of rejection and betrayal. And now He is there, in the place of honour, right alongside God, seated on the throne of glory. When you find your faith slowing down and you feel like throwing in the towel, go over this story again. If God didn't leave Jesus  in the grave, He won't leave you in the ditch. Go through!
