Difficult situations may not change, but the key is how we view them. And this is where the doctrine of perseverance comes into play in our life as a Believer. As this Scripture in Philippians states, our ability to endure doesn’t rest with us but on God’s promise to preserve us. That’s because it’s by His grace alone that we can persist. So our pain can be redirected towards God’s ultimate purpose in our life…which is to become more like Him. (Romans 8:28) We can then focus our stress off of us, and instead seek God’s face… ( II Chronicles 7:14) and turn adversity into abiding daily with Him. (I Peter 1:23) The difficult situations may not change…but we can gather up our overwhelming weariness and give it to God… and gain divine wisdom, which is a precious gift from above (James 3:17)…for this is where true peace comes from.
