By Hey guys!
One of my favorite movies is The Patriot — you know, the one with Mel Gibson. It is about a man named Benjamin and his family’s journey through the American Revolution.
Well, one of my all time favorite lines from the movie is when Ben’s son tells him to “Stay the Course”. I think this is very good spiritual advice.
There have been many times I have had to remind myself of this.
One of my biggest issues is focus and staying on track. It unfortunately spills over into my walk with the Lord.
Several weeks ago, I was really struggling to remember to spend time at the Lord’s feet. I was really having a hard time focusing on God and I paid the price. I could see a difference in myself that I didn’t like. Other people noticed it as well.
Now I have a routine that I try to stick to. I’m not perfect, but I’m better than I was.
You have to stay the course! Keep that focus! If you don’t, you will backslide.
Don’t quit. Keep moving forward, not just for yourself but because the people whose lives you will impact need you to!
