ENDURING TO THE END

 Daniel 12:13 (KJV)
"But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days."
Endurance stands in the end having taken all it has been dealt. Jesus said of those who endure to the end “…the same shall be saved” (Matthew 24:13). Who would think salvation had anything to do with endurance. Salvation is not as much about rescuing us from trouble as it is taking the troubles and working healing and wealth into us....
The rest we have now is in knowing the rest we will have when it is all over. Jesus is taking us through to the end. “And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day” (John 6:40).
“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12:1-2).
The deliverance, the healing, the wealth and the wholeness salvation brings is worth all the endurance it takes to have it. The security we have in God’s love is that He is for us and not against us. Salvation is not something we keep in our pockets or wear on our sleeves. Salvation is enduring the storms of life knowing that God is with you through it all and you are His, and you are so convinced you are, it becomes the sustaining strength to carry on when it is all said and done.
“…go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.”
