“Endure, Persevere”

Blessings folk!

Ever feel tired?
Ever wonder “when it will end”?

The Lord is the solution.

Read the following…

Romans 15:5
5 May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus,
ESV

5 Now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus,
NASB

5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
KJV

Three translations were included to provide the nuance of the truth.

God is the God of endurance.
God is the God of encouragement.
God is the God of perseverance.
God is the God of patience.
God is the God of consolation.

He desires to grant all this to those who ask and will receive from Him.

He will provide such so that we may live in harmony with OneAnother.
He will provide such so that we may live in accord with Christ Jesus.
We are to be of the same mind as He is.

Oh yes, there are those who will seek to destroy the unity of OneAnother, often in the name of religion.
But, the Lord is God of all.
He will take care of such folk.

Endure in the Lord.
Be Encouraged in the Lord.
Persevere in the Lord.
Be Patient in the Lord.
Receive the consolation that the world and the charlatans understand not.

To His praise, honor and glory...
