Persevering Faith
"Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you, and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have faith." (2 Thessalonians 3:1-2 NKJV) The relationship between God and man is built and maintained by faith. And living by faith, in the face of real challenges of life, requires more than a personal effort. Unfortunately, desperate search for solution to life's challenges often defy the patience of faith. Before the destruction of personal relationship with God is consummated, wickedness must have been encouraged with defamation of godly characters. Without the grace of God and a consistent prayer support, no one can endure the torment of wicked men. While persevering faith does not always make sense, it does make saints.
