A Tenacious Life
“Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him, but the righteous shall live by his faith." — Habakkuk 2:4
Right now the world needs people who have a backbone, who persevere through challenging circumstances. As believers, our commitment makes a difference. The righteous live not by the mustering of their own human courage, but by faith. The resurrection power of Jesus is at work in the lives of believers, but it has to be obtained by a tenacious attitude of faith. God’s words are spirit and life (John 6:63), and they will sharpen the places that have been dulled by life. God can do a tremendous amount through one persistent, obedient, faith-filled person. "But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.” (Hebrews 10:39)
