When I was growing up, I had a friend who was so gifted that he could build his own sled for sliding. We had a huge hill not far from home, and we would pull that sled to the top, get on and have a merry ride to the bottom. However, more often than not, we never made it to the bottom and somewhere along the route would be a crash scene. It didn’t seem to bother him because he would return to his house and build another sled.
Don’t you like individuals like that? They just never give up, and their attitude towards life’s setbacks is seemingly always positive. They are focused.
The Bible describes a man like that.
Benaiah was the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man from Kabzeel, who had done many deeds. He had killed two lion-like heroes of Moab. He also had gone down and killed a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day.
Discouraging odds, lions, pits and snow wouldn’t stop him from getting the job done.
What’s your excuse for not getting the job done?
Think about it.
