Persevering

Life can be quite a challenge. Following Jesus more closely involves toughing out the tough stuff that comes our way as a result of being a Christian. The harder life gets, the greater the opportunity to draw close to God. John 9:24-34 describes three discouragements that all Christians experience at one time or another. We have all been there with these three. If we haven’t yet, we will be. So, it’s good to name them and lean into the Lord’s strength to persevere through them.
