392 Personal Dedication

We just had the completion of the Olympics. We watched some great competitions and saw some incredible things. For each one of those athletes to compete and win the gold medal there had to be a personal dedication to that objective that could not be stopped by anything. It had to be a will, a drive, and a thirst for that medal to win the prize. Anything else would pale by comparison.
Jas 1:4 But let perseverance do its complete work; so that you may be complete and whole, lacking in nothing…

Jas 1:12 How blessed is the man who perseveres through temptation! For after he has passed the test, he will receive as his crown the Life which God has promised to those who love him.
