Clever and Persistent

“But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.” Romans 8:25 (NIV)

Don’t you love all of the hiccups and snags of life? Just when you feel like you have clawed your way to the top of something that you have been fighting for, and then, “bam!” Your feet get knocked right from under you. Now, you are back at zero!

A while back, something like this would have thrown me into a pit of panic, and I would have lacked an important thing called faith. I do not even attempt to comprehend how God works all of my failures, problems, and bad choices out. I just know he is able and he does.

“The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again. But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked.: Proverbs 24:16 (NLT)

God roots for us to push past our hiccups and snags of life and for us to be clever and persistent during the journey. Don’t let your cleverness, persistence, and determination be absent. That’s when you will see a glorious unfolding because your story has only begun.

Counting My Blessing,
