Called to Persevere

The call for Americans to repent and to pray that our nation will be healed is becoming more intense. Many believers worry about the loss of culture, history and personal assets. The writer of Hebrews speaks to me, “Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you stood your ground in a great contest in the face of suffering. Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated. You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions. So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised” (Heb 10:32-36 NIV).
