Liberty

Strong and very courageous

If your cause is right. If your cause is true. If your cause is worthy to you, then pay the price; do not collapse; let nothing overwhelm you. Find a way. If the way is not clearly evident, then bide your time and wait; but do not burn your bridges to your heart's desire. Remember General George Washington, who when he could not see a way for immediate victory, instead of surrendering or giving up, found a way to endure while he waited, until he could forge a way to gain what he so dearly wanted. Avoiding that immediate conflict which he could not win, he was wise to carry on while building a way to gain his vision and heart's desire.

We don't get called to very many major things in our life. Indeed if we shrink from enduring because it's hard, then most likely we just walked away from or gave up on the ship that would carry us to glorious places. If you don't pay the price for the ticket, then you're left standing in the station, wondering what to do next; and there's nothing to do , nothing at least that was so grand as what you failed to do.

It's like Esau who was tired so he gave up on fixing his own meal, giving up his birthright for a meal, because he was too tired to do it. It's like if General Washington upon seeing the superior force of the British army had just walked over and surrendered; what then for the U.S.A..

Be strong: and of good courage, to do what you must do for the goal that is right and true.

Remember the city of Ai. And remember to wait on God for your help and counsel.

Let God show you the way, and be not presumptious of your own ability.

If your vision and hope be of God, then let God show you the way and the time.

The pearl of great price for your life must be bought. You have to pay the price. This is the lesson I want you to know. Take your time; do what is right and good to gain the pearl set before you.

Be patient. Be steadfast. Be faithful and true. There is saddness is seeing an uprooted oak, a broken promise, and unkept vow, a fractured glass vase. Trees of righteousness don't grow by picking up and moving each time the going gets hard. When the ground is hard to plow, hook up another ox and bear down harder on the plow.

This study is worthy of much thought to apply in all your life. I could write for hours and still not say all that could be written. So I have shown the path of thought. It is for you to take time and meditate on these things: and take time to seek out the scripture of the Lord on these things.
