Stamina, endurance- God provides!

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO COMPLAIN.

   Okay, so the title - stamina & endurance - God provides - what does this mean to you?  Kate Spade, Anthony Bourdain - took a permanent solution to a temporary situation.

  Look at Job, he endured.  Joseph, he endured.  Noah, he endured. Moses, he endured.  Read about these men, and don't you know they were ridiculed and treated badly so very often, yet, they were with God, and through their constant faith they were able to endure, had the stamina to carry on.

   Yes, depression and mental illness are real sicknesses, but there is a solution other than suicide.  Have I thought about it? Yes, on different occasions in my life when things are frustrating and seem to be spiraling out of control.  Have you at one time or another?  Then rational thoughts tend to prevail and the thought passes.  With some the suicide thought prevails, then pride, stubbornness, and maybe job demands halts any attempts to get help.

  God is our rock, the solid rock I stand.  Only when I open the door to doubt and allow satan or his demons to enter do things become rough and uncharted.  When I stay in prayer and fellowship with God, Jesus, the Spirit, then, things tend to become clearer and more easily handled.  I am not saying smooth sailing all the time, but much better waters to navigate through.

  Let me share some verse with you on stamina or endurance:

Romans 15: 5 May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had,

Now, my friend, go forth keeping these verses in mind and remember to have the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had. Love you all.

In Christ's love and grace
