Deuteronomy 11:13
"And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my
commandments which I command you this day, to love the Lord your God, and to
serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,"
We learn that certain
actions have consequences. If we put water in the freezer, it will turn into
ice. If the doorbell rings, we will find someone standing on the stoop when we
open the door.
So when we diet and
exercise, we expect the pounds to drop off. We expect our hard work to cause
changes in our figures and a loosening in our clothes.
And we get frustrated when
that doesn’t happen—when days or weeks go by without the effects of our
diligence showing up. That’s when we need to get our focus off the results and
on to the process. We will get there, but we need to keep going, even with
discouraging results.
