Stick-To-It-iveness

I'm pretty sure that yesterday, while I was watching Chase Holfelder on YouTube, that I came across some of his first videos that he ever posted. If you've never seen his work, you should check it out. He takes music that was written in a major key and reworks it into a minor key.

The results are incredible. Music that I don't normally care for, or music that I can appreciate the talent, but still isn't really quite my thing, I could listen to all day after Chase has worked his "magic". Now, with over 200,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel, I considered the investment into his being both effective and efficient at his craft.

You can certainly notice the quality of his work, on a number of levels, as he has continued his work, but to watch his first works... to simply start and project, and no matter what the results or how quickly they come...

Stick-to-it-iveness.

Hard to maintain, when discouragement comes in ministry, but the long and short of it is, eternity weighs in the balance. Faithful and diligent to the calling that God has placed upon us, will surely bring about eternal rewards. The effectiveness and efficient will come over time; but one must continue to invest the time.

Pray, this #effectiveSunday for those discouraged; perhaps not seeing the results, growth and influence at the pace and rate they would like or prefer. May God strengthen them, even this hour. Pray for encouragement and support, to continue to press on towards the price of the high calling. May they not be derailed or detoured by failures and criticisms, but that God would use it all for His glory and His honor, and in His perfect timing.

Patient.
Focus.
Determination
Follow-through.
For the advancement of the Gospel of Christ.
