Persevere With Optimism!
"But you have carefully followed my doctrine,
manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering,
love, perseverance."
2 Timothy 3: 10
NASA has incredible machines, rovers, that are designed for
work on Mars. One has landed on the planet this month, and
it's name is PERSEVERANCE. The other is an earthbound
copy that performs the same tasks on earth helping engineers
analyze work and fix any problems with
PERSEVERANCE.
The machine on earth is named OPTIMISM, which is an
acronym for Operational Perseverance Twin for Integration
of Mechanisms and Instruments Sent to Mars.
What a lesson!
We have a Savior in the heavens who persevered
for us and won the victory, and that is why we can
be optimists down here on earth.
Whatever is discouraging you today, remember that your Savior
is not discouraged. He is on His throne keeping all His promises
and guiding your life by His providential power. Whatever is
troubling you, take the most optimistic viewpoint possible.
"Christians, of all people, ought to have the most positive outlook
on life. The reason Christians should be positive is not that we
are blissfully unaware of the pains of life, but in the midst of pain
and confusion, we have a hope grounded in the promises of God."
Reagan Rose
