Pecking Away
From Steve Goodier's book "Riches of the Heart"
Do you know when to give up and when to keep trying? Former University of
Alabama president, Frank Rose, used to tell a favorite story about a time,
in the mid-1960s, when evangelist Billy Graham was invited to speak at an
event in the university's football stadium. There were 18,000 people in
attendance that evening. America's civil rights movement was well underway
and the stadium crowd represented one of the largest racially integrated
meetings ever held in the state.
As Rev. Graham was giving a message about easing racial tensions, a huge
thunderstorm gathered overhead. Suddenly, lightening struck and a ball of
fire seemed to emanate from the speaker's microphone and travel down the
wire.
Graham immediately sat down. Then he leaned over and spoke to Alabama's
legendary football coach, Bear Bryant. "Coach," he said, "you'd have
stopped, too, if that lightnin' had hit you like that."
Bear said, "No sir!"
"What do you mean?" asked Graham.
"Well," he said, "if I was down on the one-yard line, I wouldn't have
stopped until I scored."
At that, Rev. Graham returned to the microphone and finished his talk.
Safety considerations aside, the story reminds us of one of life's important
lessons. In most of what we do, there is a time to stop, but there is also a
time to score; a time to pack it in, but also a time to complete the task.
The woodpecker owes its success to the fact that it uses its head and keeps
pecking away until it finishes the job!
Today, will you quit? Or will you keep pecking away?
"Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the
first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy
candlestick out of his place, except thou repent." - Revelation 2:5
"Onthou dan waarvandaan jy uitgeval het, en bekeer jou en doen die eerste
werke. Anders kom Ek gou na jou toe en sal jou kandelaar van sy plek
verwyder as jy jou nie bekeer nie." - Revelation 2:5

Assets
Author: Unknown
Have you ever asked yourself what is God's greatest asset in His Kingdom?
It is not the creatures of the air or those underneath the water, not even
what crawls, jumps, runs on the earth.
The answer lies within you and me, because we are His greatest asset in His
Kingdom. No wonder God sent His very own into the world for you and me, so
that through Him we may be glorified. We have been crowned with His Glory
and Honor. God is very caring and mindful (yaani His mind is full) of us.
He has given us the responsibility to rule over the works of His hands. This
shows us how much valued we are before God.
A - vail yourself to people
S - trengthen people (give them hope)
S - ensitive to people's needs
E - ncourage people
T - hank & appreciate people
Now that you know you are God's greatest asset, are you an asset to other
people as well?
Then are you assured of His Kingdom?
Remember that above all God loves you most because you are the best in His
eyes.
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the
name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the
gift of the Holy Ghost." –Acts 2:38
"En Petrus sê vir hulle: Bekeer julle, en laat elkeen van julle gedoop word
in die Naam van Jesus Christus tot vergewing van sondes, en julle sal die
gawe van die Heilige Gees ontvang." –Acts 2:38
