Determination

Determination is the condition of being determined; resoluteness.

Like a toddler standing her ground in the grocery store candy aisle, in the eyes of a cancer patient fighting death, in the heart of a soldier at Iwo Jima or the Alamo or every other battle for freedom. Like a student learning his multiplication tables, like a woman giving birth, in the face of an athlete focusing on her goal ...

Discipline in a Long-Distance Race


Hebrews 12:1-3 "Do you see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we'd better get on with it. Strip down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we're in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he's there, in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of hostility he plowed through. That will shoot adrenaline into your souls!"
