"Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness
will find life, righteousness, and honour." - Proverbs 21:21 ESV
When we find righteousness and honour (from God) it is because we have obeyed what He said and been where He wanted us to be or do what He wanted us to do. When you persevere and go on for God, you will know it was worth it once the reward is at the end. Paul said:
"I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us." - Philippians 3:14 NLT.
We should never worry but trust God, knowing that we need to get where God wants us to be or do what He wants us to do, no matter what. On with the story....
You stand there shivering in the icy, cold wind. You've tried and tried to get the car working. No mechanics around your area are available at this time in the morning. But you love getting to church early! You pray quietly and wait for 30 minutes. The wind blows against your face, like it's slapping you. Suddenly your phone rings. You shakily pull it out and stammer: "Hello?"
It's your pastor on the line. He says that God told him to come and meet you. He is waiting outside ready to take you to church. Now you'll be early! And it is a miraculous day in church! THE END.
You see? Satan tried to pull you back from witnessing the amazing anointing of God. He tried to stop you by making your car break down and lose battery suddenly. But because you are persistent and keep on pursuing righteousness, you are where God wants you to be.
