2 Corinthians 6:4, In everything we do we show that we are God's servants by patiently enduring troubles, hardships, and difficulties. (TEV)

 

In this series, we have looked at the power that comes through faith, the power that comes through forgiveness and the power that comes through focusing your life. But today we’re going to look at the power that comes through endurance, or fortitude. Paul says that one of the ways you show that you’re a true servant of God is that you endure patiently troubles, hardships and difficulties. One of the characteristics of people who God uses is that they never give up. So what do we do when we feel like giving up? The Bible tells us very clearly that there are six things that God wants us to do; Embrace God’s Purpose In The Problem, Nurture My Spiritual Roots, Direct My Attention To Jesus Christ, Use My Experience To Help Others, Rely On God’s Power, Expect God To Bless My Endurance!
