I thought a lot about perseverance today. The call to working in ministry. May not always be the easiest and causes me to question often. But I should think of people like Moses. Called into a situation way more impossible seeming than mine. Confronting a political power with the words, "let my people go" and then succeeding. Not easily, but through hardship. And through many holy questions. Moses often went to God to ask for help and get it from Him. Often complained of the people he was called to lead. And God equipped him. Helped him. Guided him through the hardest parts of leadership and what his calling was. I need these stories. These reminders of God's work so that I too may hold onto God and ask holy questions of Him. To meet with Him through the ups and downs and to ultimately be obedient and hope for a great triumph in the ministry work I am doing. Because ultimately, I have the greatest reason to hope in the whole wide world: Jesus. No hope can be better than that. No hope can be greater than Jesus. If He is for me, what can stand against me? How can I live and believe that even more? Because I am often timid and fearful. But I have the greatest hope ever. That should probably change a lot of how I navigate what I do everyday.
