I've been thinking about the word 'endurance' for the past few weeks.
I've been looking it up in the Bible and in Webster's Dictionary.
Endurance means-'the ability to last, continue, or remain; the ability to stand pain, distress, fatigue, etc; fortitude; duration'
Endure means-'to stand (pain, fatigue); bear, to put up with; tolerate;to last, continue; remain;to bear pain without flinching; hold on'
Enduring means-'lasting, permanent, long-suffering.'
You get the idea.
I noticed in Psalms that God is a great 'Endurer.'
The character of His Being gives a positive light to the word 'endure.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
His favor endures for a lifetime. (Ps.30:5)
The goodness of God endures continually. (Ps.52:1)
His truth endures to all generations. (Ps.100:5)
His mercy endures forever. (Ps.106:1)
His righteousness endures forever. (Ps.111:3)
His praise endures forever. (Ps.111:10)
Your name, O Lord, endures forever. (Ps.135:13)
Your dominion endures throughout all generations. (Ps. 145:13)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thy Favor, Goodness, Truth,
Mercy, Righteousness, Praise,
Thy name and Thy dominion
Endure forever and ever.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When your own endurance is fading fast,
trust in God's endurance to make yours last.
