We can look at Joseph's example and realize through good times and bad, we must stay the course, being diligent and enthusiastic about what God brings. If He brings you to it, we must remember, He will bring you through it as well.

We don't wait for things to happen to us; we happen to things.

Never lag in zeal and in earnest endeavor; be aglow and burning with the Spirit, serving the Lord. ROMANS 12:11

Power Thought: I will not give up. I will run my race with perseverance and finish with joy.

What should you do if you know what you should do but you just don't want to do it?

Anytime I start finding it difficult to stay positive about what I am doing, it helps me tremendously to remember that I am serving Christ. Whatever

God won't let you down. He will bring justice; He will pay you back for what you have lost or missed out on. While you wait, be thankful and know that God's timing in your life will be perfect.

What we make happen for someone else, God will make happen for us. Do you sometimes find yourself wishing you had more encouragement, maybe from your family or friends or boss? But how often do you encourage others? If you're not sure, then make an extra effort right away. You can be the channel that God uses to keep someone confidently pressing toward success rather than giving up.

We each have a home run waiting for us, but we have to keep swinging the bat.

Patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting.

Patience is not the ability to wait but how you act while you're waiting.

Get a good idea and stay with it. Do it, and work at it until it's done right.
