"Whose weakness was turned to strength." Hebrews 11:34 NIV
Persistence and a refusal to abandon your vision kept you coming back and back and back again until you finally succeeded. Try to imagine what life would be like without the light bulb or the pollo vaccine. Yet Thomas Edison and Jonas Salk lived through endless chapters of trial and failure before they succeeded. Successful people take note of their failures and learn from them. They examine them carefully, work out what went wrong, and use them to correct their errors going forward. So often, we begin projects with excitement and enthusiasm. The newness of what we are doing compels us to keep moving forward. Then something goes wrong and we stop. The project looked easier than it turned out to be, and we are not prepared to work at it and stay at it, so we quit. But quitters don't win, and winners don't quit. And as a redeemed child of God, you have a big plus: "My help comes from the Lord" (Ps 121:2 NKJV). Think about that! With the Lord of every situation and circumstance helping you, you will eventually prevail. You have a source of unfailing strength and guidance to draw on. Moses lived through criticism, betrayal, and constant complaining, yet he led the greatest migration of people in history of mankind. How did he do it? The Bible gives us the answer in two phrases: "He was looking ahead to his reward...he persevered because he saw him who is invisible" (Heb 11:26-27) So keep your eyes on the Lord, keep looking ahead to your promised rewards, and you will win.
