Christian author and speaker, Stephannie E. R. Solomon teaches from her 2nd book, "LIVING WITH THE KING". 

Staying the course is working "it" out. It is living by faith when everything in life seems contradictory to what God's word declares for HIS servants.  It is enduring the season of hardship to its fullest or very end.  Remaining on such a course is waiting until the task is completed despite human reasoning and working even when wounded. This is faith in action which pleases God and yields abundant blessings and reward.
