Persevering Faith
PERSEVERING FAITH
We are commanded to walk by faith and not by sight
We are commanded to engage in the battle and win the fight
Even when times get tough and we want to walk away
It is through persevering faith and prayer that we can stay.
Through the tough times that is where our character is formed
Though the battle rages on God has a purpose for the storms
In the refiners fire He has promised us that He is always there
That is why we can forever rest in His comfort and loving care.
Trusting Him through the darkest times is how our faith will grow
Walking not by what we see but by His truth we have come to know
Being filled with His Spirit we can overcome all doubt and fear
Putting on the whole armor of God we press on and draw near.
The enemy’s sole purpose is to steal, kill, and destroy
He wants to take away your faith, peace, and joy
This is why we must remain in the battle and refuse to depart
With God’s Spirit empowering us we will not faint or lose heart.
The joy of victory that comes from faith and perseverance
It builds Christ like character, strength, and endurance
Therefore a reward is laid up for us in heaven that eternal resting place
Reserved for those of us who are conquerors through His amazing grace!
