Nobility and Endurance
For most of us, endurance is what we think about when we have to go to a boring college class, sit through a long sermon, listen to another story from our in laws, watch someone else's vacation video, or go to a dance recital. And nobility, for most, is something of a by-gone era, a quaint idea that is not really relevant in our day of PEDs, adulterous politicians, and scandalous church leaders. But aren't these things that we want in our lives? We want these things for the long-haul- both endurance and nobility. To walk through life with an excellence of character that stands tall when life gets difficult. So often, we fail to pay attention to the things that matter, to the things that enable us to be those kinds of people who go through life with an enduring nobility. Our only hope is to cry out in repentance for the Spirit of God to be poured out on us- and then to live in the change that brings!
