Remember New Year's Eve almost 12 months ago? Were you holding high hopes it would be your best year yet?
Amid the jubilant celebration, were you lifting praise to God for anticipated success and breakthrough in your life?
Looking back over the year, do you have to admit things just didn't turn out the way you had hoped? Unexpected setbacks ... financial reversals ... disappointments ... failures ... mistakes ... betrayals ... need we go on?
As 2015 comes to a close, it's a great time for reflection and learning from errors, plus pursuing God for direction and fresh motivation going forward.
A primary component for success in the coming year is remembering the importance of perseverance. Jesus told us in the parable of the sower that it was only by perseverance that an individual reaps the desired harvest (Luke 8:15).
Here's the deal: With some exceptions, success and achievement are only achieved through persistence. Adversity comes to us all, but will we press on when we're tempted to throw in the towel?
So this secret is no secret at all. Don't give up. Persist no matter the odds.
