Habakkuk 2:3
For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay.
For several days Mike and Jackie went to the same stand. Each day, before daylight, Jackie would drive Mike to the far end of the field and get Mike's wheelchair out of the vehicle and help Mike get into it, then jnto the deer blind. Day after day they sat from daylight until after dark, waiting for a good buck to show up.
Finally, after several very long days, a really good buck showed up and with 1 minute of legal shooting light left Mike released an arrow and successfully harvested the buck of his lifetime.
Good things don't come easy very often. More often than not the best rewards come after a lot of hard work and patience. We've become a society of instant gratification. Our young people don't have to play many games of baseball to hit a home run... They can do it every inning on their computer. This has become life in today's world.
For true success it takes hard work and perseverance. If you are going to really reach your goals in life, sometimes you have to delay gratification. You have to do the tough thing instead of the fun thing.
Proverbs 13:4 Tells us that there are rewards for hard work.
"The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied."
Colin Powell once said,
"A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work."
God wants to reward all His children with the best of life, but He does expect us to put the best effort in to achieve those rewards. Success come through hard work and perseverance.
