BE DETERMINED

When I was growing up, one of the popular quotes like John 3:16 from the Bible is "determination today leads to success tomorrow" now I come of age that truth still remain.

Men we termed successful today in our contemporary world, were determined people. I concur to the Merriam Webster definition "a quality that makes you continue trying to do or achieve something that is difficult" when you are set to make significant contributions in the earth be assured of trials of lack, rejection and criticism from especially the ones you love most. You are either going to continue on your determined course or resort to give up.

Thomas Edison worked tirelessly on his experiment, you know the story better, on one occasion the wife suggested he do take a leave and rest a while and asked where he do travel to for the vacation and he responded ...I will tell you by dawn. By dawn his wife came to greet him good morning in the same lab and he told her he's already on his vacation. His assistant once recounted their many failures to him, he told him they have learn many ways the bulb can't work. He was so determined that discouragement or fear of defeat couldn't knocked at his door. Today his name is everywhere, I guess you've never seen his picture but you've heard of his name.

When you know the direction you are going in life, never give up, when you encounter challenges see them as a sure bet you're heading for the right direction. Do you remember the doggedness of those three Hebrew guys in Babylon, they were determined to the point of death. Can you trust God for your course to such extent? ...hmm! I trust you will never doubt Him in the open what He revealed to you in the dark especially this month.

God bless your day.
