Perseverance is often a rare quality in a person today.
It seems to run directly counter to modern mindset. Perseverance
takes a long-term perspective. It focuses on the future,
rather than the immediate. It goes beyond what is seen.
Perseverance fixes its eyes on what is unseen. It is
patient; it keeps waiting, believing, and trusting even
when things take longer than expected. It remains faithful,
even when there are ample opportunities to throw in the
towel, to give up and move on. In Galatians 6:9, Paul
said, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for
at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not
give up.” Leaders persevere!
