COT:

Theodore Roosevelt on Character:
“Bodily vigor is good, and vigor of intellect is even better, but far above both is character. It is true, of course, that a genius may, on certain lines, do more than a brave and manly fellow who is not a genius; and so, in sports, vast physical strength may overcome weakness, even though the puny body may have in it the heart of a lion. But, in the long run, in the great battle of life, no brilliancy of intellect, no perfection of bodily development, will count when weighed in the balance against that assemblage of virtues, active and passive, of moral qualities, which we group together under the name of character…”

TR, The Outlook
March 31, 1900

Being of good character is more important than how strong or smart you are. The Bible clearly spells this out for us. Hold yourself and HIMS accountable. Try to improve your character in areas where you may be deficient. Finally, teach values and good character to your 2.0s. It’s more important than anything any material possessions you can leave them with.

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them inthe name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.””

COT:

– King Asa of Judah wanted to wipe out & destroy idolatry & direct people back to God

– But this was no easy task. So God sent a spirit upon Azariah to encourage King Asa with this verse

– “But you, take courage! Do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded.” 2 Chronicles‬ ‭15‬:‭7‬ ‭ESV‬‬ bible.com/bible/59/2ch.15.7.ESV

– This verse has the power to keep us in the battle, the energy to keep us from quitting when life is tough. God is telling us if you endure, one day you will be rewarded. Not you “might” be rewarded but that you “will” be rewarded. God is ever present & knows your struggles – challenges at work, with family, finances, finding a job, health issues, disappointment, doubt.

– In this verse, no matter what or how long, God tells us to BE STRONG and not give up because we are not alone.

– Psalm 46:1 says “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” Not help sometimes but a very present help

– Keep your Trust in Him and you WILL be rewarded.
