The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows].
True success does not come easily or without hurdles for anyone. It is the result of hard work, patience, sacrifice, and determination—but it does come. As a child of God, the only way you will ever be a failure is if you give up.
You can be successful in every area of your life—work, relationships, marriage, pursuit of God’s plans, and everything else in which you are involved. But lasting success requires effort, and as you work toward it, the enemy will try to oppose you.
It’s crucial to learn to keep moving forward in God’s strength when success does not come as easily as you would like. When you face the obstacles that you are sure to encounter along the way, don’t give up. Keep moving forward with determination!
Prayer of the Day: Lord, give me strength to keep going when things are hard. Help me stay determined, trust Your timing, and not give up on the path You’ve set before me, amen.
