6Ten 26/05/2013 | Part 3 | Jesus calls us to ensure that He is the foundation of our lives. However He does not promise that we shall then avoid the trials and challenges of life but He does promise that whatever life throws at us we will be able to stand.Furthermore in 2 Peter 1:6 we are called to make every effort to persevere -nbsp; in living life Jesus' way and I would suggest also to persevere within the church and the ministries that God has called us to.We need to decide that God is the rock on which our lives are founded and, whatever challenges we face, to persevere on that basis. However the most amazing thing is that Jesus persevers with you and I.
