PERSEVERING IN GOD!

(By sticking to the PLAN)

 

IF you are like me=you

BELIEVE=God has a PLAN

For your life

 

Even AMID=all the PAIN and suffering

I don’t know HOW

That is a part=of our life

But it is=we just have

To keep=PERSEVERING IN GOD!

 

Jesus did it=Job did it=and

THE MAN we read=about today=Tobit

DID IT TOO!

 

“So Anna retorted’=’Where are

Your charitable deeds?=where

Are YOUR VIRTUOUS ACTS?’”                                                                                                         Tobit 2:14

 

Job had to SURVIVE=

The attacks of his friends=and Tobit

Has to LISTEN=to his wife=accuse him

OF FALSE PIETY

 

ALL of us=you=and me=

EVERYONE of us have to SURVIVE

The slings and arrows=of this world

THE PAIN AND THE SUFFERING

 

All we can do is=PERSEVERE IN GOD!

And FOLLOW

His plan=for our lives

 

“Watch your life

And doctrine closely=PERSEVERE IN THEM

Because if you do=you will save

Both yourself=and your hearers”                                                                                                1 Timothe 4:16

 

“YOU NEED TO PERSEVERE=so that when

You have done=the will of God

You will receive=what he has promised”                                                                                 Hebrews 10:36

 

Jesus suffered to the MAX=Job suffered

Tobit today=HAS ENDURED

MORE than his share of suffering

 

Tobit weeps and PRAYS FERVENTLY

For God’s mercy=Angelic intervention

And miracle healing=and MUCH SUFFERING

Are a part of his life

 

Like Jesus=like Tobit=like Job

We have to persevere too

PERSEVERING IN GOD!

 

“Not only so=but

We also glory in our sufferings

 

Because we know

Suffering produces PERSEVERANCE=

Perseverance=character=and character

Hope”                                                                                                                                          Romans 5:3

 

“And let us run=WITH PERSEVERANCE

The race=marked out for us

Fixing our eyes on Jesus=the pioneer

And perfecter of the faith”                                                                                                         Romans 12:1-2

 

Yes my friends=we have

TO PERSEVERE IN GOD=by trusting

In his plan

 

As we ACCEPT=whatever suffering

COMES to us=in our lives

Stick to the plan=FOLLOW GOD’S PLAN

 

And we will come out VICTORIOUS=by

PERSEVERING IN GOD!

 

“Death has been=swallowed up

IN VICTORY”                                                                                                                     1 Corinthians 15:54

 

In today’s world=IF our lives

Were movies=we would ALL BE HEROES

Who are stars=for PERSEVERING IN GOD!

 

God has a future

The plan he has=for your life=by
