“Sticking it Out”

God’s will is for you to be holy…1 Thessalonians 4:3a (NLT)

Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from him, throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy.  Ephesians 4:21-24 (NLT)

“I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you."  Psalm 32:8 (NLT)

“Don’t ask me to leave you and turn back. Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God.  Ruth 1:16 (NLT)

1. Sticking it out… deepens my FAITH.

We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. Colossians 1:11 (NLT)

Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.  James 1:2-3 (NLT)

2.  Sticking it out…let’s me experience God’s BLESSING in unexpected ways.

But as for you, be strong and courageous, for your work will be rewarded.”  2 Chronicles 15:7 (NLT)

3.  Sticking it out…allows me to FINISH WELL.

…’Well done, my good and faithful servant.  Matthew 25:23 (NLT)

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. And now the prize awaits me—the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing.  2 Timothy 4:7-8 (NLT)

So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.  Galatians 6:9 (NLT)
