“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in the due season, we will reap if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9

Perseverance is a trait that can help anyone in life. It does not mean stubbornness or determination to do something out of one’s will. It is not about going against the grain but staying true to yourself and your convictions. It means having the strength to keep going despite challenging times. It’s about believing in God and trusting in His plan for your life because He knows how much you need it and how much it will help other people in their lives.

According to Galatians 6:9, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” This biblical verse emphasizes just how important it is to stay steadfast and consistent no matter what obstacles come our way. Remember, perseverance also involves turning setbacks into opportunities. With perseverance, one can find ways to recover after experiencing failure or disappointment. One must learn from mistakes and turn them into valuable lessons that will ultimately take them closer to their goals and ambitions despite the adversity they face.

Joshua 1:9 says, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

We are all conceived with ideas and dreams that can help us make a difference in this world, but only those who persevere through perseverance and have faith give birth and makes a difference in our lives. For example, Thomas Edison’s idea of inventing the light bulb was born in an effort not to give up on his dream. That’s why he said, “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is to try just once more.” You will never know what you can do until you apply perseverance and determination. I am sure you have heard the saying, ‘if I could do it, I would be great.’ I am here to tell you, “Just Do It.” Start small and work your way up.

You can achieve anything you set your mind to accomplish because Christ in you is greater than any obstacle that may stand in your way. He has overcome all obstacles and challenges in life, so why not believe that you can? If you want to become a better person, stop thinking you can’t. I promise you that God will help you. 1 John 4:4 says, “You are of God, little children, and have overcome them because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.”

Prayer:
1. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for giving me the strength to face my fears and doubts.
2. Oh Lord, I cast my burdens of life on you; come and sustain my faith in Jesus’ name. Amen.
