One More

“The key to enduring hard places is one: One step a time, one moment at a time, one thing at a time.”

Loren Thornburg

At the beginning of each semester in school the teacher gives you a syllabus outlining all that will be due throughout the course.  It always feels so overwhelming in that moment, yet broken down one day at a time it was much more manageable.  I have to remind myself of that when life gives me an overwhelming syllabus-like task.  It is by the persistence of one more that we are able to overcome.  One more day working on the task brings us closer to the goal.  You get up the mountain one step at a time if only you just keep stepping.  So take one more step towards your goal.  It’s the key to victory.  

“Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will.  Then you will receive all that he has promised.”

Hebrews 10:36 NLT

We see the call to endure throughout the Scriptures.  Here in Hebrews there has been much temptation to leave the truth.  The call here is to remember the reward that comes when you keep holding onto what’s true.  We can all relate to the temptation to want out.  The call to patiently endure is a difficult journey.  Yet, the reason for the call is one we will not regret enduring.  God’s promises are great.  You won’t want to miss all that He has in store for you.  Let us patiently endure.  Let us keep taking one more step towards Him.  Look to Him, taking one moment at a time.  That’s how we patiently endure.
