May the Lessons not be Wasted

Romans 12:12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer.

Hope is prophetic awareness - the goal of spiritual maturity.

Romans 5:3-4 We also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, endurance produces character, and character produces hope.

"He who has no vision (hope) of eternity has no hold on time." Thomas Carlyle

Patient - preserving in tribulation

Instant in prayer - To be faithful and devoted in prayer.

May the lessons learned not be wasted.
