Ecclesiastes 7:8
"The end of a thing is better than it's beginning;
The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit."
My bible footnotes says this about this verse...
"The success of a particular venture can only be evaluated properly at it's end. How an endeavor ends is much more important than how it began. Thus, a wise man or woman is content to wait patiently and not demand immediate results. Patience is necessary to accomplish any successful achievement. The spirit of patience is preferable to the spirit of false pride."
Is there something in your life that you have begun or are in the middle of and you are ready for results!?
Maybe homeschooling, like me?
or trying to get your health on track,
a new job, or home?
Budgeting, or maybe learning a new skill?
These are all good endeavors that in the end should reap wonderful results if we are consistent and patient. Don't give up.
Be encouraged we are all there in some aspect of our lives. Find your contentment again and move forward one step at a time..the benefits of patience and persistence will be worth the wait.
