‘Perseverance means more than endurance— more than
simply holding on until the end. A
saint’s life is in the hands of God like a bow and arrow in the hands of an
archer. God is aiming at something the saint cannot see, […] Faith is not some weak and pitiful
emotion, but is strong and vigorous confidence built on the fact that God is
holy love. And even though you cannot see Him right now and cannot
understand what He is doing, you know Him.’ CHAMBERS
Do you see yourself as an arrow? Are you willing to be “shot” wherever God
pleases? That requires faith and
trust. Something that goes far beyond
the human will … it is dependent upon spiritual strength and maturity that
comes from an abiding relationship with the Lord. Don’t expect to make withdrawals if you have
not made any deposits … don’t expect to exercise faith when you have not nurtured
that faith.
