What in life worth having or doing is easy? As a baby, we learn how to walk. We fall, we get up, and we keep going. In school we learn how to read and write. We stumble over words but we press forward in order to attain knowledge. As we grow older we learn how to cook and to drive. We don’t always get the meals right the first time and we certainly don’t know how to drive correctly the first time we get behind the wheel but we continue to practice so that we can do those things with perfection. What is it about faith, hope, and trust in God that leads us to believe that it is okay to give up and to quit?
When we look at life and growing up in life, we tend to grow with tenacity. When you have tenacity, you tend to persist, be determined, and persevere. You keep going no matter what. We need to continue in those traits when it comes to walking out our faith. Why do we give up when it comes to the things of God?
So often we hear people say that it is hard living for God and yes it is. But it is also hard learning how to walk, getting an education, learning how to cook, and learning how to drive. The things is, you just have to want to truly do it. When you truly want a thing, you don’t give up and you don’t quit. You do what it takes to get what you want. The question is, do you love and desire God enough to do what it takes to live your life according to His Word, His will, and His way.
