Perseverance.
That means hanging tough. It means to keep trying. It means "don't quit."
I like people who persevere. There are times when I have bought something from someone just because they persisted.
John Maxwell, in his newest book "Talent Is Never Enough" has a chapter on perseverance. He quotes Hannibal, the Carthaginian general who fought the Romans during the Second Punic War. Hannibal asserted, "We will either find a way or we will make one." Hannibal lived out that attitude of perseverance when he led an unexpected campaign that took him over the Alps to defeat the Romans.
Are you facing an obstacle today? Are you thinking "there's no way." Has someone said "there's no way."
Taking Hannibal's advice, "find a way or make one." Persevere.
The apostle Paul said "And let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not grow weary" (Gal. 6:9).
Today, determine to persevere.
