Endurance is not just about surviving hardship—it’s about resting in the promises of God while we do. True endurance comes from a place of trust. We hold fast not because we are strong, but because He is faithful.

Trust. Wait. Work as you wait.

His promises never fail.

Jacob and Rachel’s story in Genesis 29 is one of love, endurance, waiting—and trusting God's timing even through hardship and delay. It perfectly echoes your earlier reflection: “Trust. Wait. Work as you wait.”

The apostle Paul reminds us that we should boast in our afflictions, not because pain is pleasant, but because of what it produces:

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

Every hardship becomes an invitation to grow. Every trial is a refining fire. When we endure, it brings glory to God—because it points to His sustaining grace, not our own strength. Endurance testifies that Christ is enough, even when everything else is stripped away.
