We often have to stay the course in our lives, even when we don't know where we’re going. We set goals, we do our best and still we hit a wall. But Proverbs states: “The righteous may stumble seven times, but they will rise again.” The challenge is to keep our faith when the fog descends and all we can see in front of us is a heartbreaking hill. Let us remember that the race is not always for the swift, nor the battle for the strong, but for those who persevere until the end.
