Endurance Rooted In Grace
2 Timothy 2:1-13
“ Think about what we’ve walked through. The soldier doesn’t evaluate orders based on whether the battle is going well. He’s committed to his Commander. The athlete doesn’t skip training because the crown isn’t visible yet. He trusts the process. The farmer doesn’t abandon the field in July because it’s hot and the harvest is still months away. He shows up anyway. None of them quit before the outcome was visible.
But here’s what’s different for you. The soldier, the athlete, the farmer…they were all enduring toward something uncertain. You are enduring from something certain. Because the war has already been won. The prize has already been secured. The harvest is already guaranteed. You’re not enduring hoping that it works out. You’re enduring in the grip of a Savior who has already won.
The foundation of your endurance isn’t your grip on him. It’s his grip on you. That means on your worst day, your most faithless, most discouraged, most worn down day, Jesus never moved. Now that’s not permission to let go. It’s the reason you won’t.
So be strong. Not in your own resolve. In the grace that is in Christ Jesus.”
Have a great week in Christ. With ❤️ from your family @ MGCC
