If We Do Not Lose Heart

This is a summary of the article I read for my morning devotion by Francis Frangipane:

To recognise Satan’s plot to wear me down – through school work, strained relationships, ministry problems, feelings and emotions that should not be felt.

To know that he steals my joy, passion andstrength unknowingly through circumstances

Instead of asking ‘How long?’, I should ask God for perseverance. Only perseverance can help me develop an attitude of maintaining my standards when pressed and finding grace when stretched. Endurance, perseverance and steadfastness are transform doctrine into a way of life.

What I become is more important that what I do for the Lord.

Principle for living in battle days: There will be times I feel overpowered, but if I persevere, climb higher onto the Lord and trust that He knows what I am going through, the Ancient of Days is going to enter my circumstances. A fearful woman cannot allow the Holy Spirit to enter her life because her life is controlled by external circumstances. (Dan 7:22)

Help me Lord to abide in your peace, to not be weary of doing good for in due time I know I shall reap if I do not grow weary.
