The Faithful Geiser
Sometimes you just have to slow down. Sometimes you just have to be patient. Keep waiting and Old Faithful will once again erupt with a mighty force. Why not, it has been happening ever 45-125 minutes for at least the last 140 years!
The same goes for many other things in our own lives. How many times have we given up on something and moved onto something else because we did not see results quickly enough? Did you quit an exercise routine or diet because you did not shed the weight as fast as you would have liked? Have you ever quit trying to learn something because it was so difficult at the onset? Have you ever quit a business or blog because you did not get the the traffic or sales you would have liked quickly enough?
Do you not wait for God because he does not deliver what you ask for immediately?
20 A faithful man will be richly blessed,
but one eager to get rich will not go unpunished. Proverbs 28:20 NIV
God clearly states that a faithful man will be richly blessed. In other words, if you continue to write your blog faithfully, you will build up your readership. If you continue to put in the work on your business, you will see your business grow. If you continue studying, you will learn it. If you keep exercising and eating right, the weight will come off.
On the other hand, one eager to get rich will not go unpunished. Giving up after your first 5 posts on your blog will end up in a frustrating ending. Stop studying and you will not learn something that will help you in your next trial. Stop exercising and eating right, and you will carry that weight with you until you do.
Faithfully persevere and you will be richly blessed. Keep going and you will succeed. Live faithfully and you will be rewarded.
Do you have something you have always wanted to do but have given up on time and time again? Think about giving it another shot and faithfully putting in the time and effort and it will bear fruit in the end.
