LET'S DE-STRESS AND PERSEVERE

"You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God,
 you will receive what He has promised."
~ Hebrews 10:36

PERSEVERE? Does this mean keep on keeping on, even in stress? Absolutely! 

Often times we allow the ordeal of stress to steal our strength . . . to warp our reasoning . . . to cloud our God-given visions . . . and, ultimately, to diminish our confidence in God's Word. 

Let's de-stress and persevere while waiting and watching for God's promises. Let's renew our stamina with a de-stress favorite from HEBREWS 10:32-36 (NIV).

32) Remember those earlier days
after you had received the light,
when you stood your ground in a great contest
in the face of suffering.

33) Sometimes you were publicly exposed
 to insult and persecution;
at other times you stood side by side
with those who were so treated.

34) You sympathized with those in prison
and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property,
because you knew that you yourselves had better
and lasting possessions.

35) So do not throw away your confidence;
it will be richly rewarded.

36) You need to persevere so that when
you have done the will of God,
you will receive what he has promised.
