Good afternoon to everyone and happy weekend to you all. Life tends to get tough but as always "When the going gets tough.. The tough gets going"
When we talk about code or ethics it's a way of life and some people don't joke with it. Some people when you meet them, you will realise that they have a standard or prestige.
The best code or ethics to live by are the Godly ones and I'm going to talk about one today.
Next time you walk past a McDonald's think about this statement that was said by the founder Ray Kroc.."Press On". Know this today that nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.
Let's take a look at some things that people think can replace persistence.
Talent
Many people say that talent is a replacement for persistence but let me tell you that there are many unsuccessful people with great talent but no means to use it. You would be amazed at the array of talents they possess but look therein you'll find no proof of greatness.
Genius
A genius with nothing to show for it is a failure. That's why the world celebrates successful people and not geniuses.
Education
The world is full of educated illiterates who are educated but has nothing to show for it.
Only persistence and determination are indispensable. In Hebrews chapter 11 the Bible talks about the "Heroes of Faith" who did extraordinary things. They shut the mouth of lions, administered Justice and fulfilled the purpose of God for their lives.
But in the middle of the account in Hebrews you find this.."Whose weakness were turned to strength, and who became powerful in battle". Notice this, they started out weak and frail but on the way they got their strength from God.
Your beginning does not matter, what matters is your end. You may have started as a failure but with the right perspective and the help of God you'll end up a winner.
No matter what you're facing today never forget that God is depending on you. Stand firm and let nothing move you.
If you need a code to live by check this and give yourself fully to it. Until next time guys..Yours in KeyPad.. Psamy ✍️
