ADD TO YOUR FAITH PERSISTENCE

'And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, and virtue knowledge, and knowledge temperance; and to patience godliness;...' 2Peter 1:5-6

There is no great achievement that does not require time and persistence. Too many get hold of opportunity but let go of it too soon. Don B. Owen Jr said it well: Many people fail in life because they believe the adage that if you don't succeed, try something else. But success is not attained for those who follow such advice. You will be justified by what you finish not what you start. Impatience is costly. Most people fail simply because they can't see the end from the beginning. The beginning is always rough but the end is glorious. Paul writes 'For our light affliction, which is but a moment, worketh for us as far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory (2Corinthians 4:17)

Think Big

. 'For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he...' Proverb 23:4 Limited thinking prevents one from progressing. A man went fishing and each time he caught a big fish, he threw it back into the water and kept the smaller ones. When confronted, he said his frying pan was a small one and couldn't contain the bigger fish. He couldn't think of something else to do with the bigger fish. That is limited thinking. When a small idea gets into a big mind, it can produce enormous results, but if a great idea gets into a small mind, the idea will be reduced to the size of the mind.
