Hebrews 10:35-36
35Do not, therefore, abandon that confidence of yours; it brings a great reward. 36For you need endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised.
Often scripture talks about faith as a race to be run and won, or a fight to be fought. Endurance is lifted up as something of value, and I don't disagree. Sometimes living a life of faith can be difficult, though that statement feels horribly trite from a middle-American perspective. When, really, have we ever been persecuted because of our faith?
But there are still times in our lives when we must draw from the deep well of confidence, not in ourselves, but the confidence that we have in our Lord, and the promises that God has made to us.
Peace, and confidence, to you.
