The power to persevere

The willingness to persevere is a very needed attribute in today's world.
Notice that I didn't say "willingness to persevere" in hard times? Or "willingness to persevere" in good times?
Just the "willingness to persevere" all the time, day or night, in season and out of season, everyday of your life. Everyday we are alive we will need to continue to make decisions, set examples, be a witness to Christ and every valuable character trait that we have in Him.
Life takes perseverance.
Life has challenges at all levels, daily, that need addressing. We can even get weary from "well doing", let alone getting weary from "not doing so well."
So what then gives us the "willingness or motivation" to persevere everyday of our lives, and be available to the needs of family, friends, neighbors, and others that just happen to "fall into the mix?"
What can possibly inspire us to have fresh energy to wake up every morning "meet" for the day?
Personally I believe that when we have someone we represent that has a plan for us, and what we are to do, we are stimulated by purpose. We are working for a Higher Authority, in the case of a Christian "God Himself", not only our "employer" but our Father also. So we are pressing on out of obedience at two levels of authority: Gods Word and our Father. Did anyone ever work for their father? Well this is different because our Father is Unconditional Love. He is not out to just make us better at a certain skill set, but He is out to conform us to be like Jesus our Brother and teach us about Unconditional Love so that we can Love others as ourselves. It's easy to work for an all Loving Father because "Love never fails" in His love for us or in our Love for others. Love is the great promoter of perseverance, because it can only reap a "good harvest" when sown with the help of the Spirit of God.
What does scripture say about weariness?
Matthew 11:28,29
"Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest."
We get rid of our weariness and burdens in the presence of Christ. This scripture is speaking to us, His brothers and sisters, it's speaking about a ever refreshing "oneness" with Christ through daily worship. That's how we "come to Him." When we "come to Him" with all the efforts that we need to make for the day (knowing that every effort, good or difficult, are burdens), and present them before Christ, He then takes them and gives us rest because they are now in "His hands."
First we come to Him in worship, then once in His presence we set our petitions before Him in prayer, by faith, so He can exchange them for a joy and peace so powerful that it manifests itself as rest. We experience His Loving "Yoke" (we are gently restrained to Him) so that we can "learn from Him". We learn that He is "gentle and humble in heart (towards all who will be yoked to Him) and that's where we find rest. The assurance that our burdens are going to be taken by Him and our weariness relieved.
This is how we willingly persevere on a continuing basis throughout our lives. We stay in worship and prayer in the spirit realm, and we stay persevering in this carnal realm refreshed and empowered by the Spirit of God.
Feed on the Word. Worship God, pray without ceasing in the Holy Spirit, then go out and set the captives free.
Love
