Nothing Replaces Persistence
In life, we can often believe that getting ahead and achieving is all about how smart we are or educated or even how well connected.
But there is another great attribute we often forget; It's called persistence.
An old poem expresses this well - no one knows who originally wrote this but it talks about persistence:
"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not. Nothing is more common than unsuccessful individuals with talent. Genius will not. Unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not. The world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are all powerful."
Don't waste your God-given talents by giving up too soon. Pray for the ability to persist and see through to the end what God has called you to do.

Much thankfulness for this daily-reading to Karl Faase.
