Perseverance .( Nehemiah 6 )

Perseverance is vital for the child of God,this is the second attempt at writing this message,the first one suddenly disappeared,I must have pressed something. William Carey was a  man who didn't give up,he was a missionary to India, he accomplished so much for God.His translating of Gods word into different languages was wonderful.At one time when he had nearly completed one translation, a fire broke destroying what he had done, so he  started over again.At times he faced discouragements and frustrations, disappointments and loneliness,but he persevered, he didn't give up.He believed he was doing the will of God,and that the sovereign God would help him.His motto was ,'Expect great things from  God, attempt   great things for God'. At a time of  great discouragement he wrote,'Well I have God,and his word is sure'.It is profitable to read the lives of such people ,they can challenge us,but you must be your own man, you and I are not William Carey,as for myself I have a few talents ,he had ten,but whatever talents we have let us use them to the glory of our God.and Saviour.
