First definition: steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., especially in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement.
In this moment, I'm tired. It's mostly fatigue from the wear and tear of the day, but there's a bit of "I'm a little out of sorts" kind of tired, too. The first one is an easy fix of a hot shower and a good night's rest. The second...not so much. Thus, the high points of perseverance...steady in purpose in spite of....discouragement. If I keep moving, I'll get there. If I don't give up, I'll reach my goal. As I've said before, I'm trying to focus and pray and sacrifice and live in want and change....It's a lot (for me), and it's no wonder that with such lofty goals, I'd hit a wall. But, that's no reason not to stay the course. I sit here a little distracted and unable to focus, but the second definition is too important not to share.
Second definition: Theology . continuance in a state of grace to the end, leading to eternal salvation.
I'm walking in favor. I'm more than my circumstances or feelings. I know that the light of day will bring with it some restoration. I just have to be encouraged and stay the course; And I don't have to move quickly....STEADY. Lord, I believe; Help my unbelief.
EXPECT MORE THAN YOU COULD EVER THINK OR IMAGINE!
