11.21.10 The Focus Factor

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.                                                2 Timothy 4:7 (NKJV)

Endurance

David’s past impacted his present

But David said to Saul, "Your servant used to keep his father's sheep, and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock, ³⁵ I went out after it and struck it, and delivered the lamb from its mouth; and when it arose against me, I caught it by its beard, and struck and killed it.         1 Samuel 17:34-35 (NKJV)

We learn as we live

² My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,        ³ knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.                                                             James 1:2-3 

David displayed endurance throughout his life

⁶ They have prepared a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down; They have dug a pit before me; Into the midst of it they themselves have fallen. Selah ⁷ My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and give praise.                                Psalm 57:6-7

With God’s help how can I develop endurance?

•         Finish that book
•         Finish that project
•         Go past your normal quitting point

  Trust God to develop endurance in your heart

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.                                                2 Timothy 4:7 (NKJV)

Experience Enhances Endurance
