God will give us a name or a resource in which to direct our move to the next level, do we recognise it as a lead or do we question it and go for counsel on it to get a second opinion. Your word speaks thousands to me when you wake in the morning and the first thought you have is a potential lead act upon it. For this is faith this is allowing God to shape the sphere that we operate in. Awesome!! Great word Michael.

Keep on keepin on in The Ministry and know that "it" matters. Sincerely, Tina I am quite intrigued by this word. The timing is incredible.

He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed." Heb13:5 "Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." Thanks Michael Pink! I too am waiting to read the second half. The above scriptures were brought back to my mind as I read the Isaish 45 passage. These scriptures brought me through much refining years ago! Several weeks ago I quit my job to pursue my business. I quit a difficult job as I heard HIM say "It is finished," knowing full well a time of stretching is ahead. I also remember singing, "God will make a way, where there seems to be no way..HE works in ways we cannot see..." I will continue to walk, not by my own sight, but by being attentive to HIS still, small voice. Deut. 31:8 “The LORD is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you.

The Need for Endurance Does God mean, then, for your business to flourish only when they are in the limelight of attention and glory? Does he want dynamic businesses only when they have the limelight of wide attention? The answer is clearly, NO. What then is needed? The answer is: Endurance. Absolutely indispensable in the ongoing life of a business is the power to keep going month after month, year after year, even decade after decade in the path of obedience. And for many of us that will mean long-haul endurance in a particular ministry/business in spite of emotional and relational and spiritual and financial obstacles, even when the encouragements of the limelight and the attention and the glory and the admiration are gone, and we feel like the joys of life are passing us by. What does he require of you in your business? He requires endurance. And where does endurance come from? It comes from hope. "I give thanks to God . . . for your work of faith and labor and endurance of hope." Without the endurance of hope, the work of faith and the labor of love will prove to be no real work of God but only the love of the limelight. We do not live in a generation that puts a high premium on endurance in relationships or jobs or in ministry. And we are very much children of our age. If we follow Scripture here, we will be swimming against the tide. So be it! This is a call for the endurance of the saints! (Revelation 13:10; 14:12.) When we receive resistance and warfare we need to endure.

The Need for Endurance
