 After a while, even the most worthwhile pursuits can seem overwhelming, and you might be tempted to quit trying. But did you know that God wants us to persevere? Time after time throughout the Bible, we read about men and women who were ready to quit, but relied on their faith to keep going. From Noah to Moses to Abraham and Sarah, and even Jesus, each of them had to persevere and demonstrate patience during their respective tribulations. And in each case, the rewards for their hard work were astounding.
