And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Hebrews 6:11-12 (NKJV)
Abraham became the father of nations, Joshua led the nation of Israel into the promise land, Sarah bore a son at an unimaginable age and time of her life, Hannah's tears and sorrow was turned to joy, the three Hebrew boys got the last laugh, the widow of Zarepath endured through her season, the list goes on and on. One thing common to these men and women was that they were never sluggish at the Lord's promises in their lives, they never lost hope nor slumber off of their waiting season. They held on to the end. They through faith and patience finished their course and inherited their promises.
Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. The strength to make it to the morning is the finishing power. A power that the spirit of God in us can give. May you never lack the finishing power in your life, Amen.
Be encouraged,
Afolabi
