It takes courage to be diligent. True change comes by choice and then courage. It takes the choice to make it and then the courage to see it to fruition. We live in a mob mentality culture. It is easier than ever to create a crowd, especially if there is a common enemy. People can become angry with people in social media that they have never even met. You can incite a riot more quickly than ever before. It seems that personal fuses are shorter that they have ever been before. It takes courage to have an opinion and to express it. When you decide that you are going to be everything that God created you to be, it will never be an overnight process. You may make the decision in a moment, but you will have to diligently hold on to the choice you have made. Courage. Pray over everyone you love. God told Joshua, “Be strong and of good courage!” Just because it doesn’t happen overnight, it doesn’t mean that the reward is not coming. Delays are not denials. Prove that your mind is made up. You are proving that your goal is worth the decisions and the steps you must make. Don’t take the easy way out. Don’t follow the crowd as it roars by you. Be unique. Hold on to your calling. Keep reaching for your destiny. Find the courage, tenacity and diligence to be all God intends for you to be. Whatever The Lord has asked you to do, be faithful and in due season you will be rewarded!
