“DETERMINATION!”
I Corinthians 2:2
“For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.”
In the 1984 Olympiad there was one scene that still lives vividly in my memory. It was not the victorious finish of a winner, but the conclusion of a determined Swiss marathon runner, Gabriela Andersen, who finished 37th.
I can still see her in my mind’s eye, staggering from the darkened tunnel into the bright sunlight of the Los Angeles Coliseum. There was only one lap to complete and the race would be over. She was so far behind it seemed foolish to complete that last lap, but finish she did. The ovation for her far exceeded that for the winner.
It is safe to say that each and every one of us is in a race. Sometimes it seems that we lack the strength to continue on ... but we must. There is a prize to win at the end of the race. That prize is to hear the words from our Master -- WELL DONE!
Determination always comes with a price. It means sacrificing the easy way in order to finish well. It means to keep on keeping on even when our get up and go, got up and went. We need more believers who are filled with determination.
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
