Persisting to Know Christ
We persist in many things that matter to us. If we truly care about accomplishing a goal, then we commit. Though obstacles and weariness come, we work to overcome in order to achieve that on which are minds are set.
Some people are good at staying the course, while others struggle with perseverance. Nonetheless, it is a tenacious heart that sees a purpose through to the end. We may persist in career milestones, health goals, financial objectives and many other areas.
Determination is a wonderful quality, but we must keep proper perspective. No goal is to even compare to the goal of knowing Christ more and more intimately, no matter the cost. Of all the things in which we persevere, we must stay the course in our walk with Jesus. In the end, that’s the one aim that matters most and matters forever.
