The Power of Perseverance
Perseverance is an essential. It helps us overcome obstacles and stay focused on our goals. In fact, people who persevere tend to experience greater satisfaction with their lives.
Jesus tells us a parable (story) of a widow in Luke 18:1-8 It is a perfect example of perseverance in the Bible we can follow
Joseph (Genesis chapters 37–50) endured much hardship. In all of these circumstances he maintained his faith in God, hepersevered and kept his hope in God’s deliverance. Even in the hardest times he didn’t compromisehis character to get ahead but was patient, waiting on the Lord’s timing.
Why Do You Need Perseverance?
Let’s look at several Bible texts. We’ll see what perseverance is. And we’ll see that perseverance isnecessary and it is commanded of us.
John 15:6 1 Corinthians 9:27 1 Corinthians 15:1-2
Matthew 24:13, “but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.” (Also Matt 10:22)
John 8:31, “To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you arereally my disciples.”
If you’re looking to succeed at anything, whether it’s school, work, sports, or personal development, you need to keep going even when things seem difficult. This is because there will be times when you feel discouraged or overwhelmed by challenges.

How Can You Develop Perseverance?
The stabilityof that covenant is as safe as the oath, and promise, and power of God can make it (Psa 89:30, 34; He-brews 6:18-19). They are “loved by him with an everlasting love” (Jer 31:3). They are “chosen to salva-tion” (Eph 1:4; 2Th 2:13). And God, their gracious and reconciled Father, “will rest in his love” (Zep3:17).
There are several ways to develop perseverance. One of the easiest ways is to focus on the positive aspects of life. By doing this, you’ll be able to see how far you’ve come and how much further you still have to go. Another way to build perseverance is to practice mindfulness. Mindfulness helps you stay focused on the present moment and not let negative thoughts distract you from achieving your goals.
Their safety, as believers in Jesus, is secured by the Word and promise of the “God that cannotlie.” He has said that He will “never leave them nor forsake them” (Heb 13:5), that they shall “neverperish” (Joh 10:28), and that He will “confirm them unto the end” (1Co 1:8).
