ENDURANCE

Rev 14:12
12 This calls for patient endurance on the part of the saints who obey God's commandments and remain faithful to Jesus. NIV
** During this time of tribulation and people all around receiving the mark of the beast, God says this will call for patient endurance and faithfulness to Jesus… The difficult thing about this passage is, it you haven’t been patient and have endurance now, will it be possible then? It’s kind of like body building. You can’t body build to get muscles today. You have to body build to get muscles for 4 months down the line. In the same way, if we don’t start practicing patient endurance now, we will not be able to accomplish it when the time comes in the future. It’s amazing to me how easily people give up waiting on the Lord. Let’s start by just doing a little bit each day and then get more patient and endure a little bit more until one day we find ourselves armed and ready for anything we need to go through.
