Verse of the day:
Hebrews
12:2-3
King James Version
(KJV)
“Looking unto Jesus
the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame,
and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For
consider him that endured such
contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your
minds.”
As I was in church this Sunday
and the pastor was preaching about Jesus and how he endured all the beating,
mocking, slapping, punching, and the list goes on…to the point that up on the cross
he was no longer recognizable as the Jesus they knew:
Isaiah 52:14
New
International Version (NIV)
“Just as there were many who were appalled at him— his
appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any human being and his form
marred beyond human likeness—“
I began
to meditate on endure.
I had
already had a bad morning, tired of house mom duties that never seem to get
done. Every time I would clean up, in no time it was back a mess and no one
wanted to help mama. But as I sat in church service I heard the Lord say “endure.”
Then all these scriptures began to manifest in my mind and as the preacher was
preaching I was getting revelation from the holy ghost about enduring and
encouraging others in the same. Encouraging others in the Lord being the
purpose of the gift of God in me in music. Epiphany!
So I
began to hunt for this word “endure” in the concordance and found these
scriptures:
2
Timothy 2:3
King
James Version (KJV)
“Thou
therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.”
Hebrews

“Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating
you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father?”
Revelation
3:10

“Because you have guarded and kept My
word of patient endurance [have held fast the lesson of My patience with the expectant
endurance that I give you], I also will keep you [safe] from the hour of trial
(testing) which is coming on the whole world to try those who dwell upon the
earth.”

the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind
toward each other that Christ Jesus had”
