Tuesday’s Tip: Persevere!

Today, I finished a Bible study.  Finally.  I’ve only been working on it since September.  It was a six-week study.  You do the math.  The group I was part of has long since stopped meeting, and I almost gave up on ever seeing the end of Nehemiah.  Still, I just had to keep going.  Little by little, I finally finished, and….

I am so glad I did.  Here’s why:

  1. It feels good to finish something.  I mean, looking at loads of laundry that never seem to end sometimes makes me feel like I never complete ANYTHING.  Today, I have that feeling of having finished that just feels good, you know?
  2. Commitments are worth keeping.  Even if it takes a while.  Even if no one else knows or cares.  You do.  He does.
  3. Sometimes God does save the best for last.  Today, on the very last page of the Bible study book was a sentence that spoke more to me than any other one I’ve read since the study started.  If I’d quit, I would have missed something that might just end up on my wall somewhere as a reminder…both of what the writer said as well as of the fact there are some things that just need to be finished.
  4. God always honors faithfulness.  I feel like that one sentence was, in a way, my reward.  Well, that, and the weeks of mind-renewing, walk-strengthening, discipline-demanding Bible study itself.  Believe me, it is never time wasted.

 

If you’re interested, the study was Nehemiah by Kelly Minter.
