James 1:12 NASB "Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him." Slow and Steady! Today's Word is about trials and how once we have passed through them, we will receive the promise! While cleaning up the yard at church, we rented a chipper to get rid of all the branch debris. We found out that we couldn't just shove all the branches and sticks in at one, for the machine would bog down and we would have to start again. We had to shut down the machine and clean out the shoots to start again. Many times in life we try to go to fast, cramming as much as we can into the limited time we have. We miss the opportunities that come our way, so it's best to work slow and steady. We will get more done for the Kingdom of God. I would rather do 10 things at 100% than 100 things at 10%. Let's take it slow and steady today, we will get more done for Him! peace, tom
