Sometimes, even after the brave act, disappointment follows. The job doesn’t come through, the relationship
is still strained, the system resists change. What then? This week, we explore the courage of perseverance.
Paul reminds us that suffering can produce character and hope. We’ll also draw from Elijah’s burnout in 1
Kings 19 – after his bold confrontation with the prophets of Baal, he still ends up in despair. And yet, God
meets him there. Perseverance isn’t about pushing harder – it’s about trusting that even slow, quiet courage is
holy.
