I am thinking alot about endurance as I prepare for this conference. A friend of mine who seemed like a really godly mother and wife, left her husband and children about a year ago. As I throw a ball to my little girl I can't imagine the absolute insanity that would have made her feel that her decision to leave her children was wise or justified.
Psalm 100 has been an inspiration to me as I daily seek to understand how to run the race of life, I think that much about our purpose and position is clarified here.
Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands!
Serve the Lord with gladness
Come before His presence with singing.
Know that the Lord, He is God
It is He who has made us and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him and bless His name.
For the Lord is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.
To sum it up, God is very good, and we are His people, so let's serve Him with singing and thanksgiving.
