Sometimes, we feel like giving up and giving in. What good is faithfulness? What good is being meek? Evil seems to prosper, and for all our good deeds, we might have little to show. But David comes along and encourages us, “Hold on just a little bit longer; peace, joy, and prosperity are on their way!” I once came across the following observation. Water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. At 211 degrees, water is just hot; it takes that one degree extra to cause it to boil. When water boils, it creates steam, and enough steam can power a train! What’s the lesson? That extra bit of perseverance can be the difference between victory and defeat. So don’t give up and don’t give in. Our God is a good God, an almighty God, Who will make good on His promises. Today, see if you can muster an extra bit of faith. See if you can find an extra bit of energy to help someone out. Keep walking in the path of righteousness, and before long, “a little while” will have passed, and salvation will be ours. With prayers for shalom, peace, masanga wilfred
