Spirit – Pastor Pushie

Genesis 8:22 says, “As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.” This means that we have to make the most and best of situations, yet be prepared for the worst. This doesn’t mean we must walk around with a negative and pessimistic outlook on life, always expecting something bad to happen. Instead, we should enjoy the good times, yet reserve enough tenacity to

survive the bad times. It means that in the rainy days, while it waters your garden and washes the dirt away, you must store a little rainwater for the dry season. It means celebrating, but not spending irresponsibly without considering storing away for a dry patch. This is what I like to refer to as “weathering life”. Enjoying the good times and enduring the bad. So, what is the difference between one person’s success at life, and another’s failure to survive its vicissitudes? It is endurance. It is being able to enjoy the surplus without exhausting it, and enduring the drought without being destroyed by it. witness to it. Everyone may not suffer the same, but everybody endures some form of pressure. This means you have to weather the storm and try to outlast it. Every storm eventually runs out of rain. Tough times don’t last, but tough people do. You don’t have to put any more pressure on yourself other than to survive. I believe that you have what it takes to make it. There is enough in you to withstand the storm or you wouldn’t still be here.
