Why do a lot of endeavors in life seem so hard to undertake? Sometimes we can start a project with great enthusiasim, only to get bogged down when things don't go as planned or as hoped for. I believe moments like these are just a test, sent to see how dedicated we are to achieving our objectives. At times, we may jump into something we have little experience with. Even when we are convinced that the project/endeavor,
is an idea or calling from the Lord, it is normal to occasionally get discouraged. Especially when it's a project to help spread the word of God, we can expect satan to throw road blocks in our path.
This goes back to the fall of man in Genesis. "And unto Adam He said, Because thou hast hearkened unto
the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles
shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return." Genesis 3:17-19.
So we must persevere. As long as we are headed in the right direction, God will take care of the rest.
If we are not sure we're going in the right direction, we must ask the Lord to stop us before we go too far off track. Occassionally, we have to act quickly, and if there are gray areas, just trust that God will stop you before things get worse.
