HOW LONG SHOULD WE ENDURE ?

Anything that you endure? pain? poverty? wealth? crazy world? Name it. At certain points in our life we needed to endure. Wherever did I read "God please give me patience, Now." ...Great...

Even I am asking myself, how long should I endure chasing that elusive dream of earning unlimited income streams? When would I endure wanting to drive my own Ferarri, I never had. Or until when will I endure the want of living in my own acquired dream house and lot?

Material possessions? Sometimes we endure want of them, without realising we actually have better, far greater than we thought, far grandeur than we can imagine. I think back of the times where my ancestors would say, "Let's give this vast land to the government because they don't have any." Today the government own every land, and ancestral claims or domain seemed non=existent. How long should we endure?

"Preserve me. O God:for in thee do I put my trust." psalms 16:1

"The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. the lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage. I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the right seasons. I have set the LORD alway before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices: my flesh also shall rest in hope. For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thou Holy One to see corruption. Thou wilt shew me the path of life. In thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore."
psalms 16:5-11
