OUT LAST YOUR CHALLENGE

 Luke 9:62

And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

<> If you started it with conviction, then finish it.

A CHALLENGE:

Is a call-out, calling into question, confrontation, dare, daring, 

A demand for explanation, 

A demand for identification.

<> A challenge is not an attack, it's a contest. 

<> Life in its own is a challenge, face it.

<> A storm on the sea will eventually calm down. Yet only those who remain afloat during the storm will be able to move when serenity comes. So, stay afloat.

<> Quitting in the face of a challenge seem the easiest to do, but it's never the most rewarding. It is the most regretting.

<> When you cannot win over your challenges, then outlast them.

<> If you stand out in the rain long enough, you will eventually see the rainbow.

<> ``Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength.''. Never worry for it makes your trouble double.  

>> KEEP SWIMMING.

Genesis 17:1

And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

All Abraham needed to do was to just play his part and watch everything fall into place.

The challenges of life will play their part in your walk of destiny, you play your part. Face it.

STORY:

Two frogs fell into a deep cream bowl. One was an optimistic soul. But the other took the gloomy view.

We'll drawn, he lamented without much ado, and with a last despairing cry, he flung up his legs and said goodbye.

The other frog said, "I CAN'T GET OUT BUT I WON'T GIVE IN." 

I'll just swim around UNTIL my strength is spent, then I'll die the more content. 

Bravely he swam to work his scheme. And his struggles began to churn the cream. The more he swam and fluttered his legs the more the creme turned into butter. He finally stopped on top of the butter, and hopped out of the bowl.

LESSON; IF YOU CANT HOP OUT, KEEP SWIMMING AROUND!
