Endurance is a necessity during this day and age. From politics to living with an arduous person. Often times there’s little relief. The will to tolerate suffering without becoming angry and bitter is a virtue.

And endurance produces character, and character produces hope…

(Romans 5:4)

No matter the circumstances, we must continue to remain calm. Especially in difficult situations. Patience produces character. Don’t let negativity pull you off track. Be patient and see the work of the Lord.

We were given; everything we need to oppose all malice. God’s Word encourages us to refrain from all bitterness, wrath and slander. He urges us to be tenderhearted and kind one to another. Forgiving; as Christ forgave us.

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds…

(2 Corinthians 10:4)

At one time or another we all have struggled against addiction, pride or lusts of youth. These are some forms of strongholds that keep people bound. The Word of God is combat for battle.

Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.”

( Genesis 32 : 26-28 )

Jacob wrestled with the man all night for his blessing. It even cost him his hip out of joint, but that did not stop him. Jacob didn’t mind because in the end the fight changed his name.

Have you ever wondered, Why we weren’t ever taught to master our gifts? We’re told; go to school get an education and work for someone else. So we go to school for years, accumulate student loan debt, then become an employee to pay off that debt.

A man’s gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men. (Proverbs 18:16)

Instead of being employed be deployed. Find a positive influential mentor, absorb their skills and knowledge. Perfect your character; become your best self. Eventually, it will be your turn to mentor others from the next generation.
