Endures


Prevalent was the word that I used in an email to describe something to a dear friend. After I clicked send, I continued to mull the word over in my mind. According to the 'Oxford Dictionary', the word, prevalent means: wide spread in a particular area at a particular time. 

There is another word that also comes to mind. Endures. "Praise the Lord, all you Nations; extol him, all you peoples. For great is his love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord. ~ Psalm 117. "Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. ~ Psalm 118:1 [NIV] 

The definition of Endures in the 'Oxford Dictionary' reads as: 2. remain in existence; last. Oh how this word brings great joy to my heart. A smile to my face and a spring in my step. He Was, Is, and will be Forever more. He is the rhythm in the rising and setting of the sun. He is the song in the wind as it blows to and fro. He is the lover of my soul. And no matter what may be prevalent in my life....good or bad, The story that He has written will continue to be seen along the journey ahead, "His Strength, Love, and Word endures in my life FOREVER.

" Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." ~ Matthew 6:10 [KJV]
