For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. Psalm 100:5
There aren't many things that one can't endure for a short period of time.
A claustrophobic can endure an elevator ride to attend an important meeting on the 19th floor if he must - or he can endure walking nineteen flights of stairs. A woman can endure many hours of labor in order to bring a new life into the world - or she can endure the discomfort of recovery following a c-section. An addict can endure the temptation to fall off the wagon - at least one minute at a time - or he can endure the challenge of climbing back on again.
There are times, however, when I feel like I won't be able to endure long enough. Will I make it through today? Will I ever complete the projects on my desk? Will I be able to face disappointment and failure without slipping over the emotional edge?
Lord, I can barely imagine... Your love endures forever. Forever! Forever is a long time. What an amazing fact. Help me to hold onto this truth. Help me to endure. I want to someday look back from the other side of eternity and say, "You were right. You really do love us forever!"
