Have you ever watched ants? When I am sitting outside and see ants, I am amazed at how they carry their food, some of their loads are 10x bigger than they are. But they never give up. They keep carrying that load and are determined until they reach their final destination. Their struggle is huge, but they press on.
Just like the ants, we have heavy loads we have to carry. We get tired, we get weak, we struggle. Life's journey is hard. Day in day out we face problems and pray for God to lighten our load. Sometimes I believe God lets us struggle for a reason. It increases our faith. It increases our strength. There may be a lesson in it God wants us to see and learn, maybe our determination could help someone else that is struggling not to give up.
God does not want any of us to give up. He wants us to keep going, press on until we reach our final destination. Philippians 3:14 "I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
We do not know what today will hold, but we do know Who holds today and Who gives us the strength and determination to press on.
Love in Christ,
Tera
