Hope Fulfilled
Let your eyes look forward;
fix your gaze straight ahead.
Carefully consider the path for your feet,
and all your ways will be established.
(Proverbs 4:25-26 HCSB ©®)
So don’t throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you need endurance, so that after you have done God’s will, you may receive what was promised.
(Hebrews 10:35-36 HCSB ©®)
Don’t let fear or laziness or lack of confidence prevent you from becoming whatever you hope for. If you don’t have enough time to be able to do it in a year, use the time you do have. If it takes 8 years, then in 8 years you will be glad you started. At some point in the past, you didn’t know how to walk. Look at you now.
