PERSEVERANCE - PERSISTENCE


Press On!
Nothing in the world can take the place of PERSISTENCE.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination are important qualities of a resilient life.

PERSISTENCE
perseverance, steadfastness,
abidance, ceaselessness, continuance, durability, endurance, subsistence


Let us not grow weary 
of doing good, for in due season 
we will reap, if we do not give up. 
Galatians 6:9

For the righteous falls seven times and rises again, 
but the wicked stumble in times of calamity. 
Proverbs 24:16


And as for [the rest of] you, believers, do not grow tired or lose heart in doing good [but continue doing what is right without weakening].
2 Thessalonians 3:13


The Steps of A Good Man


Psalms 37
16 Better is the little of the righteous
Than the abundance of many wicked.
17 For the arms of the wicked will be broken,
But the Lord sustains the righteous.
18 The Lord knows the days of the blameless,
And their inheritance will be forever.
19 They will not be ashamed in the time of evil,
And in the days of famine they will have abundance.
20 But the wicked will perish;
And the enemies of the Lord will be like the glory of the pastures,
They vanish—like smoke they vanish away.
21 The wicked borrows and does not pay back,
But the righteous is gracious and gives.
22 For those blessed by Him will inherit the land,
But those cursed by Him will be cut off.
23 The steps of a man are established by the Lord,
And He delights in his way.
24 When he falls, he will not be hurled headlong,
Because the Lord is the One who holds his hand.
25 I have been young and now I am old,
Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken
Or his descendants begging bread.
26 All day long he is gracious and lends,
And his descendants are a blessing.

Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord [always doing your best and doing more than is needed], being continually aware that your labor [even to the point of exhaustion] in the Lord is not futile nor wasted [it is never without purpose].
1 Corinthians 15:58
