The dictionary app on our iPhone defines endurance as “the power to withstand hardship or stress” and “a state of surviving.” While this definition may suffice for the world, our experience over 28 years of Kingdom living has yielded a more enhanced interpretation. With each experience or step, although it may not have been easy – and in many cases – probably could be defined as a hardship (misfortune or affliction), the Kingdom result was never just surviving. In fact, with each tribulation, our endurance produced a recovery or stepping stone that led us further down the road. In each instance, we never returned to our previous state – as if nothing had changed – we always received something – whether spiritual or natural. In every circumstance, Yahweh enhanced us, prospered us, encouraged us, enlightened us, and or reinforced us. Our endurance produced because we kept our eyes on our only solution – Our Heavenly Father – and not on the perpetrator of the assault. While it is never easy and you will have to remind yourself over and over while you are in the midst of the battle, war to keep your heart and mind set on Him.
