Precious Pursuits - May 19, 2015







Romans 5:3- 4     And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;

Luke 21:19     Stand firm, and you will win life.

Romans 8:23     Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.

2 Corinthians 12:10     That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

James 1:2     Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,

We must be people who are relentless in our pursuits for God. If we give up too easily, there is no need to seek God. Relentless should be the word to describe all believers; people who will not take no for an answer. Trying and not giving up; enduring intense stress but not breaking or giving in to it.

Giving up and giving in births regret; that nagging and gnawing feeling of empty accomplishments. The song of “if only….” We all experience failures in life, it’s how we learn and grow. Failure is never the problem the problem is the halfhearted attempts and lack of commitment that allows opportunity to slip away or to be wasted. We must learn to accept and embrace tests and work with them until they manifest a testimony.


If you can’t muster the passion and conviction to see something from beginning to end – leave it alone.
