(12:24) All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty. (14:2)3 The sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied. (13:4) TWO EXAMPLES OF DILI... »

He gets a solution to solve... »

1 Corinthians 15:10, NRSV 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me has not been in vain.

Probably the greatest example of persistence is Abraham Lincoln. If you want to learn about somebody who didn’t quit, look no further. Born into poverty, Lincoln was faced with defeat throughout his life. He lost eight elections, twice failed in business and suffered a nervous breakdown.

JOHN 16:23,24 23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ASK THE FATHER in my name, he will give it you. 24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. In John 14:13,14 the Greek word for “ask” implies to demand as something due. In other words, we could say, “And whatsoever ... »
Spiritual things are very similar to natural things. Jesus took natural things to explain spiritual things. No one is going to be an expert or keen in any area without working at it. In the area of sports, for instance, a person who is known for his high batting average, for his hitting ability, did not get to his position without many hours of batting practice. On the news I once heard about a fe... »
