Daily Devotionals Matt. 4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
Testing builds endurance.
We do not like it. Perhaps we even detest the testing of our souls and lives. However, with courage, with wisdom, with understanding, and with patience we can indeed count our trials as blessings. With wisdom, we can count our trials as a great joy. In the middle of the testing when we become weary and want to walk away from our trials, the Lord calls out to us to finish the work rather than quit.
