Perseverance

WITHOUT perseverance it is impossible to succeed. It matters little how strong or how clever anyone may be, should he fail in sticking to his work he will never get on.
The Bible bids us “run with patience,” swiftly and ploddingly. Alas, how many a young Christian has made a good start, but has for lack of earnest perseverance, dropped off! As month after month passes away we feel more and more the need of continuance in well-doing, of pressing forward, of girding up the loins. Dear boys and girls who have by grace begun the Christian race, pray, pray earnestly for perseverance.
