Perseverance

Today I mowed the lawn. Now, I am a person of relatively small stature and build. Pushing a 50-70lb pile of metal on tiny wheels up and down hills and over rocks and around stumps in the sun represents a bit of a challenge for me, but for some reason I cannot bring myself to abdicate the responsibility. Maybe it's that I'm unwilling to be defeated... or maybe somebody along the way taught me that if don't give up when you do hard things now, you'll be able to do harder things later.

When you persevere, you gain victory in each moment by setting your face like flint and not quitting. Before you know it, you look back and see you've conquered a whole hill. And you're energized to go after the one ahead, which just happens to be a little steeper. : ) In the end, the righteous Judge "will render to each person according to his deeds: to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life." (Rom 2:6,7) If you don't quit, you win!
