A reminder

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:13,14


In times of prosperity be joyful, but in times of adversity consider this: God has made one as well as the other, so that no one can discover what the future holds.
Ecclesiastes 7:14


Do not say, "Why were the old days better than these days?" for it is not wise to ask that.
Ecclesiastes 7:10


We know that in all things God works for good with those who love him, those whom he has called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28


Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
James 1:12


A Call to Persevere
So do not throw away your confidence; it holds a great reward. You need to persevere, so that after you have done God’s will, you will receive what He has promised. For,

“In just a very while little,

He who is coming will come and will not delay.

But My righteous one will live by faith;

and if he shrinks back,

I will take no pleasure in him.”

But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.
Hebrews 10:35-39
