True Grit

Grit is that character element that causes us to push forward no matter the problem. It is essential when God is silent, and we cannot sense His presence. Grit allows God’s grace to dominate in the face of fear, grief, or any other hurdle you may encounter.  It is the enabling power to move with only our faith in His word as our guide. Grit takes character, perseverance,  and the ability to withstand pressure. It’s the absolute determination that “No matter what it costs me, I am going to do the right thing.”  We need grit when standing in the stillness of our misgivings. It takes courage and fortitude to move forward when despair grips our hearts. How do we get this grit? It is God’s grace, and it is a gift. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9

We have God’s all-sufficient grace to empower us. Ecclesiastes says, “Time and chance happen to everyone.” Our part in the process is to be willing to face the challenge and fight forward. With that thought in mind, we now face our futures with “Grit,” the courage, resolve, character, and ability to stand in the myriad of circumstances that life brings our way. No matter how silent God is, He controls every moment, and all of His decisions are right.

The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. Hebrews 13:5-6
