“Wherefore
we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace…” Heb 12-28
In
spite of living in a crumbling world soon to end, God promises an eternal
kingdom that cannot be moved. The scriptures call us to an enduring faith to
withstand the shaking, sifting and collapse taking place around us, by way of
His grace; this is rendered in the original language “we have grace” as the assurance of God’s promise in which we can
stand upon (Mt 7:24-27). Endurance goes
beyond the ability to bear struggles, but rather turn them into glory for
Christ sake. Know that the hope you long for is derived by way of life trials
and your ability to endure them (Rom 5:3-4). There are no shortcuts to endurance;
you must find strength and assurance in the long route in God’s grace. Don’t
pray for an easy life, it requires no strength, but pray for strength to endure
the one you’re living. Endurance is patience concentrating on the promised
kingdom.
Life
can be like a new pair of shoes, hard and unforgiving, but endure it and they
become of great use.
