“By perseverance the snail reached the ark” -Charles Spurgeon
Courage doesn’t always roar
“One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up. “There was a judge in a certain city,” he said, “who neither feared God nor cared about people. A widow of that city came to him repeatedly, saying, ‘Give me justice in this dispute with my enemy.’ The judge ignored her for a while, but finally he said to himself, ‘I don’t fear God or care about people, but this woman is driving me crazy. I’m going to see that she gets justice, because she is wearing me out with her constant requests!’”
Then the Lord said, “Learn a lesson from this unjust judge. Even he rendered a just decision in the end. So don’t you think God will surely give justice to his chosen people who cry out to him day and night?
Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly! But when the Son of Man returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?””
Luke 18:1-8 NLT
If we look back to our past failures in life we will find the same pattern in each of them. That pattern is all funneled to impatience and giving up. How many times have we given up in life and asked God why it didn’t work out? We’ve been learning about the fruits of the spirit. They all require a process to acquire Will we give up on Love? Have we given up on joy?
Courage doesn’t always roar!
Let us remember it is a process and the principle here is to pray to God and ask Him faithfully to give us what we need and He will answer. Failures are due to the lack of the Fruits of the spirit which God can only give to us if we learn to depend on Him and only Him. Pray and have Faith.
