"The end of a matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better than pride."
-Ecclesiastes 7:8 (NASB)
-Ecclesiastes 7:8 (NASB)
Chinese philosopher Laozi is credited with saying, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Sometimes that first step is the hardest one to take. Sometimes it takes encouragement or great discomfort to convince us that the first step is worthwhile!
Once we have taken that first step and are making our way through a matter, we should be patient and have faith that God will lead us to a prosperous and joyous end. During a journey of a thousand miles, the end may seem far off. However, with God leading the way, we can be reassured of how much better the end will be than the beginning!
In whatever you are facing, be sure to have patience and follow God to a glorious end!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your willingness to lead me throughout my life. I ask that You help me to see Your plan and hear Your voice as I strive to follow You each step of the way. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
