Hebrews 10:36 says:
“You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised.”
Not when you get it all right. Not when you crush every goal. Not when you’re perfect. When you persevere. In other words: just don’t quit. Some of the most powerful people I know aren’t necessarily the smartest, loudest, or most gifted. They’re the ones who consistently showed up.
They kept showing up in prayer.
Kept showing up in the Word.
Kept showing up in obedience, even when no one else saw it.
And over time, God honored it. He always does.
Keep Showing Up
I don’t know what promise you’re clinging to. I don’t know what area of your life feels stuck, stagnant, or silent. But I do know this: Everything God has for you is on the other side of consistency. Not your best day. Not your most inspired moment. But your everyday faithfulness.
Keep sowing. Keep forgiving. Keep trusting. Keep obeying.
Because the life you desire, the peace you seek, the achievements you long to see—it’s not found in spurts of inspiration. It’s discovered in the daily, sometimes mundane, but always sacred decision to keep going. And when you do? You’ll wake up one day and realize the promise wasn’t delayed. It was developing. Because God was never building the thing. He was building you.
