When Trust Becomes TestimonySample

Trust That Perseveres

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. (Hebrews 10:23, NIV)

Long stretches of waiting and hardship require patience and perseverance. It isn’t for the faint of heart. Yes, we want resolution, answers, and healing soon, but as we looked at earlier, God’s timetable isn’t ours. So, we wait, and we hold to the hope we have, and we hold to the One who brings us hope.

He who gives us promises is faithful to fulfill them. God is interested in the development of our character and deepening of our faith. He sees who we will become and knows what it will take to get us there.

When we hold unswervingly to an undeterrable God, He enables us to endure. He paves a way for perseverance and puts us in position to further His Kingdom through our trek.

Perseverance is born from trust—clinging to promises when the road is long, when we don’t see the finish line. When the trial tests us, we will not sway; we will stand strong in holding to the hope we profess. Where else would we turn? Trust in God gives us the grace we need to endure.

The truth for today is: Trust builds perseverance. We are never finished in our faith.

Prayer:

Lord, when the road is long, strengthen me to keep trusting. Give me eyes to see what You see and build my hope in Your faithfulness. You know what faith takes. Amen.
