Endurance
is, in truth, a test of values, especially where competing values cause conflict.
A book called Values and Teaching, identifies
most people as believing in prolonging life. However, place that ideal in a
situation where someone is suffering from unbearable pain, caused by an
incurable disease, and wishes to die…
Thank God most of us do not face that choice,
but other situations where values collide make choosing unpleasant. You appreciate
rules for driving safely, and although you need to be on time for work, you're
late. You cherish being a patient, kind person, but someone is using you to
their advantage. Your integrity depends on choosing your actions wisely.
A man explained
he had a chance to reconcile with his ex-wife. He wanted to do right by his
family and please God, but lack of trust blocked the pathway. God’s word
teaches you to “trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own
understanding, and he will guide your path." This is God’s choice for all
believers.
