Every day you make choices about which of the competing voices will capture your attention. A man named Shammah was following God when the crowd was following their fears. The Philistines had the Israelites on the run when Shammah sensed he needed to defend his field of lentils (2 Samuel 23:11-12). Confidence in God grows when you know you are acting in alignment with His Word. Determination increases when your cause is worth the effort. Do not be surprised when God confirms a new direction and asks you to persevere. No one had more sheer determination and perseverance than Jesus (2 Thessalonians 3:5). Rely on Him when you feel like giving up prematurely or taking a destructive shortcut. Jesus is the One we imitate and is the source of our strength.
