Perseverance and Faith

Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
(James 1:12 NIV) 

     There are times when I become discouraged.  I feel so strongly this mission of writing for our Lord, but obstacles constantly confront me.  
     We must remember to have perseverance when confronted with these obstacles for the Lord teaches us in all things done for him in his name.  When he sets a task before us, know this, he will open doors and destroy any obstacles before us.  We must display a great perseverance and faith for that is what he is teaching us.
     Did the Israelites bring down the walls of Jericho instantly?  Certainly not, it took perseverance and faith in the assigned mission.
     Let us pray for courage, strength, perseverance and have faith that our prayers are answered in order to accomplish the tasks our Lord assigns us.  Who can block your path when you seek to do the Lord's work? 
     Pray for one another to have success in their work for the glory of our Father.
