  God didn’t save and transform your life for you to end up on a dead end road of destruction or defeat. Peter says; “Add to your Faith “Perseverance.” (2 Peter 1:5) Nobody said that life would be easy or without setbacks and dilemmas.

 Paul says, “Fight the good fight of Faith.”  Joseph quickly learned that there would be challenges to obtaining God's dream for his life. Job realized that hell didn’t believe that he would still serve God after all the paradoxes and oxymorons of His life. Jesus is our great example of One who didn’t quit until He had said on the cross, “It is finished.”

         Friend, just as the Father stood by His Son’s side until the end; God will do the same for you and me. Rise above your thoughts of defeat and discouragement and declare, “No weapon formed against me shall prosper.” (Isaiah 54:17) Add to your memory bank, “Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof; and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.” (Eccl 7:8)                                                              Dannysdevotional.com
