JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of Endurance, today’s Daily Challenge motivates us to grow in meekness.
In Matthew 5:5, Jesus said, “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.”
The idea of meekness has to do with “strength through restraint”. It is a quality that combines humility with a gentle spirit. The perfect example of this was Jesus. Though he was rich, yet for our sake he became poor. Even though He had 72,000 angels at his disposal for protection, Jesus chose the way of the cross. For a period of time, He emptied Himself of His Heavenly glory and stepped into a human body to take the nature of a servant.
When we see the evidence of injustice, meekness is the quality that will help us to confront it the right way. Look to the example of Jesus. We are challenged to use our influence to shine the light of the Gospel with the attitude of Christ, who demonstrated gentleness, humility and patience to a world in need of His grace.
Take the daily challenge to experience the blessing of growing in meekness on the journey of faith.

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Word of Encouragement is Gold.
This precious metal is used to make coins and jewelry and is highly valued. Olympians strive to win the gold medal which represents first place in a particular event.
First Peter 1:7 talks about our genuine faith as having greater worth than gold.
A genuine faith often is refined through all kinds of trials, and will result in praise, glory, and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed
Job was a man of God who suffered greatly. In the midst of his harsh trials, he acknowledged that when the Lord tested him he would come forth as gold.
God can use trials to refine our faith so that we become a shining reflection of His image.
Find encouragement in the value of faith to have greater worth than gold in the Year of Endurance.

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Word of Encouragement is Fruit.
Most of us have a favorite fruit that is pleasing to our tastebuds, whether they are oranges, apples, or strawberries.
There are different kinds of character qualities that make our faith more fruitful, such as love, joy, and peace. These qualities are found in the fruit of the Spirit.
When we live by God’s Spirit, He builds godly character qualities on our foundation of faith. This is what enables us to be an effective witness to the world of God’s saving grace. Jesus said in John 15:8, “This is to my Father’s glory that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.”
Through the faithful witness of believers, the words of Colossians 1:6 are still true today. “The gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the world.”
Find encouragement in the fruitfulness of walking in step with God’s Spirit in the Year of Endurance.

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Word of Encouragement is Future.
The future is the time yet to come. Corrie Ten Boom, who was placed in a concentration camp for helping the Jews escape from the Nazis, once said, “Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.”
We don’t know specifically what will happen tomorrow, but with God in our lives, we can anticipate the future with hope rather than dread. God has a perspective on the future. He inspired the prophecies in the Bible. He has revealed certain events that have yet to take place.
The LORD said in Jeremiah 29:11, “I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”
Find encouragement in the hopeful future that God has prepared for those who seek Him in the Year of Endurance.

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Word of Encouragement is Tower.
A tower is a tall structure that symbolizes strength, security, and greatness.
There was a time in history when the world came together to build the Tower of Babel. The people of that time wanted to make a great name for themselves.
But God frustrated their plans by confusing their language. Humans are not able to accomplish what only God can do for the world. We cannot save ourselves, but God can save us through faith in Jesus Christ. He is our source of salvation, strength, and security. And His name is very great-the name above all names.
Proverbs 18:10 says, “The name of the LORD is a strong tower. The righteous run to it and are safe.”
Find encouragement in the security of God’s strong tower in the Year of Endurance.
