Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know
that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance, character, and character,
hope. - Romans 5:3
The post “Path of Righteousness” discussed the path a
person should go in reaction to things that are meant to bring them down;
insults from others, difficulties, and road blocks along life’s journey can be
overcome if first met with perseverance.
I’m reminded of a sermon from my
pastor who pointed out that God’s way is not always the easiest but His way
always allows you to finish strong so follow God day by day and do not quit but
persevere; keep going and God will stir up a passion in your heart. He will be
with you to finish the race strong.*
If someone insults you, keep on
being kind and working hard. Take the path of righteousness and look forward to
a great reward. Along this path are beautiful meadows and majestic
mountaintops. It is the path that leads to immortality.
So the lesson for us today is
that even in difficulty, we can rejoice. Life goes on so we can be inspired
towards a future in which God is in control. What we should do is what the song
Press On by Building 429 says to do.
