We've
all observed men and women who could roll with the flow of life, who refused to
be distracted from their objectives. The ability to roll with the flow doesn't
imply giving in to temptation or "doing as the Romans do while in
Rome." It takes character strength to sidestep entrapments designed to divert
you from God's intended purpose.
A mother referred to her son as
intrepid, gutsy, and determined to achieve, despite having a tough learning
disability. Resilience enabled him to make friends, do his work with integrity,
and deflect self-doubt that was always present. What helped him stay focused
was confidence in his parents to be an encouragement regardless of what he
would have to face.
The Apostle Paul had unshakable confidence
in the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus transformed
him into a person with direction and purpose for his life. God gave him the wisdom
and maturity to change along with a vision that affected the world in a way he had
previously believed to be impossible. With Christ in you, all things are
possible.
