Why you Need to Hold onto the Promise!

  I have done so many dumb things... some people are wise enough not to mention them; I mention my dumb thing because I think it drives home an important point.   I am constantly amazed at how precise the Word of God can be in times of need. Recently, as I spent time in the Word I came across a verse in a different version than I normally read. Boy, did it ever jump out at me!   "Patient endurance is what you need now..."   Wow! God had my number that morning! There comes a time when you just gotta hold on...that's endurance. The patient part is a matter of attitude. I'm the only one that can control my attitude. I can get in a tizzy or I can be patient. There's peace in patience. Fear in tizzy.   Hebrews 10:36 NLT the verse continues "so that you will continue to do God's will. Then you will receive all that he has promised."   It was exactly what I needed to hear, because I am desperate to receive God's promise. What about you?   I know! I know! It is so much easier to hold on to fear...it has tried to live at my house lately. That's why I am reading the Word, declaring the Word and praying the Word.   It is easier to hold on to blaming and complaining... but I don't want to reap the harvest of that kinda junk.   I want to receive God's Promises. They are precious promises, but they aren't automatic.   Please understand the times we are living in require us to live out the principles of God's Word.   Do you feel like you've believed too long to give up now? I do too! That's why I want to encourage you...   "Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God's will. Then you will receive all that he has promised."   No. I didn't forget the dumb thing. It's in the podcast.
