Perserverance

I mentioned that I had a really rough week at work last week. I am trying to gain a better perspective this week and realize that not only did the Lord give me this job and I should do it gladly for Him, but He has bigger plans for me and all that I am dealing with is in His plan too.

So this week my focus is going to be on perseverance. I found a few good bible verses to focus on this week:

Romans 5:3-4- "Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope."

James 5:11 "As you know, we consider blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job's perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy." If Job can do it- So can I! And I know the Lord will deliver :D

James 1:3 "because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance." Yikes. I feel like I failed this test. I have not had the attitude about work that the Lord would want me to have. Maybe if I start now, I can regain some ground I lost? Does it work that way?

James 1:12 "Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him" And this, my friends, is why I love my Lord. We may not see thanks or just what our perseverance has done for us in this world, but we will one day :D One day we'll get to stand with the Lord because He has given us the best gift that could ever be given to us. And everything else will not matter. :D

I feel like having these in mind this week will make this week much better :D Happy Monday y'all!
