Grit ( Hebrews 13 v5-6)

A writer in one of my devotionals ,speaks about having grit,he gives examples of people who showed grit. One person describes grit as a combination of passion and perseverance,over a long time,decades, even for a life time. That sense of keeping ,right on to the end of the road,in spite of  all the difficulties,and obstacles one has to face. So that's it? , there is more to it than that,hear is what Moses said to God,'If your prescence does not go with us,do not send us up from here (Exodus 33 v 15)His  prescence makes all the difference.My youngest son was about to have a serious operation,he confessed that he was scared,so I texted him the words of Isaiah 41v 10,the opening words read,'So do not fear,For I am with you,' those words helped him.Yes me need grit ,but above all else we need His reassuring presence with us.Fanny Crosby wrote a lovely hymn, hear are two verses.

                                                     ' I must  have the Saviour with me,

                                                       For I dare not walk alone;

                                                       I must feel His prescence with me,

                                                        And His arm around me thrown.

                                                        Then my soul shall fear no ill;

                                                         Let Him lead me where He will,

                                                         I will go without a murmur,

                                                         And His footsteps follow still'
