Persevere

ROBERT THE BRUCE became king of Scotland in 1306, when Scotland was at war with England -- and not doing too well...

Legend tells how Robert took refuge in a cave to hide from the armies of England. While lying on a bed half dozing, he saw a spider trying to attach its web to a ceiling beam. Time after time, it tried and failed. However, on the seventh try, the spider succeeded. Inspired by this display of spider power, Robert went on to engage the English in a series of battles. They climaxed in the 1314 Battle of Bannockburn, at which Scotland won its independence. (Glad Tidings of Good Things)

THOUGHT: Maybe like Robert the Bruce, you're in a cave of defeat. If so, then remember:

KneEmail: "Let us not grow weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not" (Gal. 6:9).
