A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches - Prov. 22:1a
There have been some great men to walk this earth and their contribution to their generation has impacted this world for years into the future. These men just didn't arrive overnight. It took time to prepare them for the major event that changed their lives forever.
David fought a lion and a bear over time before having the courage to face goliath. Great leaders only found out they were great when they faced major obstacles and realize they had what it took to overcome these obstacles mostly because they had overcome other obstacles in their past. The major ones brought out the courage, tenacity, patience and the perseverance among other qualities developed in them over time. After the successful outcome came the good name that is to be chosen rather than great riches. Names that have paved the road in history and will be with us forever.
When you are faced with great challenges see them as opportunities to pave the way to a great name and examples for others to learn by.
Prayer: Father help us to look to Jesus the greatest to walk this earth, whenever we face challenges that seem too enormous for us to face alone. Let us keep in mind that Jesus is always with us helping us. Amen
Encouragement: There is no temptation that has overtaken you but such as is common to man; God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation He will make a way of escape, that you may be able to bear it -1 Cor. 10:13.
