The character trai of perseverance is fast becoming lost in our culture. Greatness is born by pereverance in the face of adversity. Few things worth doing are ever easy.
Marriages and families sometimes face hard times. Boys must learn to persevere in the face of adversity if they are to struggle forward later, during the even tougher seasons of life. Persevrance is probably one of the toughest things to teach boys. it requieres us to reseit the ureg to rescue them when they are struggling. letting them suffer goes against our nature, but suffer they must if they are to develop the strength for the long haul.
James 1:2-4 speaks of persevering during tough times: "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."
