Be steadfast, resilient and tenacious!
– as then, our zeal, faith and trust in God will not insulate us from the insidious attacks of the enemy such as discouragement and drag at work projects. But neither should it substitute principles of hard work, determination and smartness. To overcome the former, we will need to be resilient, dogged and determined, work harder and smarter. But to overcome the later, we need to overcome ourselves! We should not call laziness Satan, neither should we dismiss his wiles. But we overcome him by engaging in prayer and building a spiritual fortress around us through communion with God and his word. In the process we must become rugged and battle hardened.
