Have you ever taken a short cut, only to realize that it wasnt really the best option after all? We thought we were really getting ahead, saving time, multi-tasking to the max...when all we were really doing was cheating ourselves. 1 Corinthians 15:58 says, Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. Sometimes we do get weary in well doing. We ALL do. It doesnt matter if your neighbor looks like he never breaks a sweat. We all have difficult days. No one escapes them. But we have this promise: Galatians 6:9, And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Stay the course. Dont give up. When giving up looks good (and there are times in everyones life that it does), take a break, get back up and hit it harder than ever. The things in this life that are most worthwhile are the most difficult to obtain. The road of life that we travel is filled with challenge, tragedy, heartbreak....and ultimately triumph, if we faint not. My Dad has always had a saying. Some days you get the bear. And some days the bear gets you. If today is the bears day, dont admit defeat. Tomorrow WILL be better. The challenges we face can improve us or crush us...and the choice is ours alone. Which will you choose today?
