If You Want to Be Victorious - Hold On

 

For just as our Heavenly Father does we Win our Victories by Holding To It.

We Conquer, Not in any brilliant fashion...

We Conquer by Continuing. 

We master shorthand when we stick to shorthand. 

We master Shakespeare when we stick to Shakespeare. 

Wandering cattle are lean kine, whether they pasture in Britain or in Beulah. 

A certain Radiant and Quiet doggedness has been one of the Marks of all the saints, for whom the trumpets have sounded on the other side. 

In the log-book of Columbus there is one entry more common than all others...

It is not "Today the wind was favorable."

It is "Today we sailed on."

And to sail on, every Common day, through fog and storm, and with mutiny on board, is the one way to the country of our dreams. 

Days come when everything seems Doubtful, when the Vision of the unseen is very dim. 

Days come when we begin to wonder if there can be a loving God at all. 

My dear reader, Hold To It. 

Continue Trusting. 

Keep On Keeping On. 

It is thus that Christian character is built. 

It is thus the "Well done" is heard at last.
