Grit and Determination
from Kerusso Daily Devotional Hosted by Kerusso
Today we're talking about grit and determination, which go a long way in helping find success in life. And they're contagious. Winston Churchill was almost 70 when his country needed him most, when he stared down Hitler's war machine. The British Prime Minister's signature line was, “We shall fight on the beaches,” but the essence of his message came with these words, “We shall go on to the end.” Luke 18:1 says, “Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.” And it is a partnership because God keeps his word. Philippians 1:6, “He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” There's a great practical application in scripture. These old words that are always new were not meant to be just some nice thing to say. God does what he says he will do. If you feel like you have no way out of your troubles today, tell God that. Remember the scriptural promises and remind yourself that countless people have done the same and come out okay on the other side. Don't give up, and see what the Lord will do. Let's pray. Lord, we give you our fear and our uncertainty. We can't cope with the situation we're in alone, but we trust you to give us strength not to quit. We believe for the victory over these circumstances, and God we find rest in your mercies. In Jesus’ name, amen.
