There are times in life when things happen neither easily nor quickly, times when we may be tempted to give up and accept defeat. Obviously, if we've made a mistake, or we're on the wrong path, then the bast thing we can do is to stop and change what we're doing. But if our purpose and our cause is right and just, inspired by Heaven, we are encouraged to stand firm. Jesus taught that at such times we should always pray and not lose heart (Luke 18:1). Whatever difficulties and delays you are facing today, hold your course, for it is through faith and patience that we inherit what God has promised.
