Remember the Hare and the Tortoise

Remember the hare and the tortoise. Life's winners aren't the fastest but those that persistently and consistently stay on target. 

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:14

"That which we persist in doing becomes easier, not that the task itself has become easier, but that our ability to perform it has improved." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

The Final Laps

Most races are won in final laps. The last quarter-mile of a mile race will determine who wins. It's not how you start life but how you finish it. Many have had a great beginning only to have a poor showing at the end, while others have great disadvantages and go on to win the race.

Determine to run the last quarter-mile as a winner. The Apostle Paul said, "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing." (2 Timothy 4:7-8) Share

Persevere! Don't Quit.

Persevere! Don't quit. Very few noble accomplishments in life come easy and most take time. Perseverance is one quality that successful people share.Share 

The story is told that Andrew Jackson's boyhood friends just couldn't understand how he became a famous general and then the President of the United States. They knew of other men who had greater talent but who never succeeded. One of Jackson's friends said, "Why, Jim Brown, who lived right down the pike from Jackson, was not only smarter but he could throw Andy three times out of four in a wrestling match. But look where Andy is now." Another friend responded, "How did there happen to be a fourth time? Didn't they usually say three times and out?" "Sure, they were supposed to, but not Andy. He would never admit he was beat -- he would never stay 'throwed.' Jim Brown would get tired, and on the fourth try Andrew Jackson would throw him and be the winner." Picking up on that idea, someone has said, "The thing that counts is not how many times you are 'throwed,' but whether you are willing to stay 'throwed'." We may face setbacks, but we must take courage and go forward in faith. Then, through the Holy Spirit's power we can be the eventual victor over sin and the world. The battle is the Lord's, so there is no excuse for us to stay "throwed"! (Source: Daily Bread)

Never Lose Hope

While there are many lessons the Lord taught us when hanging on he cross, none is more powerful than the lesson to pray without ceasing for those we are burdened over. A. W. Pink in his book The Seven Sayings of the Saviour on the Cross expresses this thought clearly:

"In praying for his enemies not only did Christ set before us a perfect example of how we should treat those who wrong and hate us, but he also taught us never to regard any as beyond the reach of prayer. If Christ prayed for his murderers then surely we have encouragement to pray now for the very chief of sinners! Christian reader, never lose hope. Does it seem a waste of time for you to continue praying for that man, that woman, that wayward child of yours? Does their case seem to become more hopeless every day? Does it look as though they had gone beyond the reach of divine mercy? Perhaps that one you have prayed for so long has been ensnared by one of the Satanic cults of the day, or he may now be an avowed and blatant infidel, in a word, an open enemy of Christ. Remember then the cross. Christ prayed for his enemies. Learn then not to look on any as beyond the reach of prayer."

Never Lose the "WHY" or the "FAITH"

Never lose the why! Every parent has experienced their six-year-old child driving them crazy with the question why. But by questioning the WHY many a person has made world-changing discoveries. Never stop asking why. 

On the other hand, never lose the trust you  have in God when the "why" goes unanswered. As Job learned, God has the right to let the "why" go unanswered. When that happens, then the believer must "walk by faith and not by sight."

Add a little "Awe" to your devotional time! Take the 31 day challenge and let For His Glory: 31 Daily Meditations inspire your devotion to our "awesome" God. Take a peek inside this affordable (Only $1.49) eBook today.

Put one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward. Life should never be at a standstill. Keep learning, keep improving, and keep moving! Moving forward is the only way to enjoy the journey. Trying to live yesterday over is a waste of energy.
