Chapter 1

You Were Created to Win in Every Season

For nothing will be impossible with God. (Luke 1:37)

And I am confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. (Philippians 1:6)

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. (Hebrews 10:23)

Count it all joy, my brothers (and sisters), when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete lacking nothing. (James 1:2–4)

Wow! Look at how by reading God’s living Word, we are reminded through these scriptures of the power of persevering and winning no matter what’s going on around us. For we know, by trusting God at His word, we will be victorious in all seasons. As I previously mentioned, there are no unfruitful seasons experienced if we choose a life in Christ. In Luke 1:37, we’re encouraged to be confident that whatever God has begun in us will be manifested in our lives as we daily aim to become more and more like Him. There’s so much peace in knowing if you and I would just trust God and persevere daily on purpose, we will experience the abundant life He has promised to each of us. I do not know about you, but I want to take hold of all of God’s promises outlined for me even before my existence in this world. How about you?

What’s All This Talk about Persevering, Anyway?

According to Webster’s New Dictionary, to persevere is to be persistent. It is a verbal element that results from a given action or series of actions as a means for progressing forward in positive momentum. Broken down even further, if we dissect the meaning of being persistent, there is a finite bridge between both terms that is empowering and freeing all at the same time. Being persistent is a type of intentional behavior of developing a consistent routine of positive movement for better or greater despite difficulties. Neither of the two are innate characteristics we are born with. Both are learned behaviors that are improved upon daily. For you see, learning to persevere 365 days through any life season requires daily discipline and intentionality. Will we be perfect? I will answer that for you. No! God, Himself, is the only perfect being. Will we want to quit or have feelings of quitting? I will answer that one for you, too. Yes! But as God’s Word teaches us in Deuteronomy 31:6, as well in other scriptures throughout the Bible, there is an indescribable peace in learning how to persevere 365 days every year of our lives. In this verse, Moses reminds and assures the people of Israel and Joshua, of this one
