On the subject of perseverance, Chuck wrote:
“If you’re running a 26-mile marathon, remember that every mile is run one step at a time. If you are writing a book, do it one page at a time. If you’re trying to master a new language, try it one word at a time. There are 365 days in the average year. Divide any project by 365 and you’ll find that no job is all that intimidating.”
Be persistent in following Jesus in all that you do. Today in prayer, praise the Lord that through His perseverance salvation has come to you.
