Thursday, July 30th. Today's cherished Nugget from guest blogger Pastor Bill.

People with vision often butt heads with the more practical world. One person often sees in his or her mind’s eye how something could be accomplished, but convincing others is no easy matter. A select few can ignore the nay-saying of others and push to make their vision become a reality.

Henry Ford had the vision for the V-8 motor, but many challenges were in the way. Engineers said it could not be done, but Ford said, "Do it anyway." We all have been blessed that they continued until the challenges were overcome.

No matter what we need or want to do someone wants to squelch our dreams and burst our bubbles. The difficult slows us down somewhat, but the impossible takes a little longer. In his letter to the Hebrews, the Apostle Paul gives us this encouragement:

"Now we want each of you to demonstrate the same diligence for the final realization of your hope, so that you won’t become lazy, but imitators of those who inherit the promises through faith and perseverance."
(Hebrews 6:11-12)

"God, help me daily to press on to keep on keeping on for where You want me to go.
Amen."

Give God glory honor and praise.
