3-11-21 THOUGHTS

Ps 27:14   Wait for the LORD; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the LORD.
Luke 21:19   By your endurance you will gain your lives.  [In your patience possess ye your souls. KJV]
Rom 15:4    For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
Rom 8:16-25     The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, 17  and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him. 18  For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. 19  For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God.  20  For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope 21  that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22  For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. 23  And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body. 24  For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? 25  But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.
Col 1:11-13    strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously 12  giving thanks to the Father, who has  qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light. 13  For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son,
Heb 12:1-3    Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2  fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3  For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
Jas 1:3-4   knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.  4  And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

My Prayer:
Strengthen us with your power O God that we might be complete, not lacking anything. We praise and honor you our God.  May your great name be on our lips continually.  Help us to wait on you with all patience and endurance.  Give us an eagerness for life, make us to know the joy of your salvation, and support us in our overcoming.           In Jesus name         Amen
