There will be days when progress feels invisible. You wake up, give your best, and still wonder if it even mattered. But don’t let those quiet days fool you—they matter more than you think.
The greatest breakthroughs often come right after the greatest resistance. Think of a seed underground. For weeks, it’s unseen. But it’s pushing, stretching, growing in silence—until one day it breaks through the soil into the light. That day is only possible because of all the days it was working unseen.
You’re that seed. Keep pushing.
You may not see the results yet, but that doesn’t mean nothing’s happening. Your faithfulness, your discipline, your commitment—it’s planting roots. Strong ones.
Here’s your encouragement today:
💡 “Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out.” – Robert Collier
Take a deep breath. Stand tall. Walk forward.
One small step today might be the reason you’re able to run tomorrow.
The concert , Sol Hurok, liked to say that Marian Anderson hadn’t simply grown great, she’d grown great simply.
He says: “A few years ago a reporter interviewed Marian and asked her to name the greatest moment in her life. I was in her dressing room at the time and was curious to hear the answer. I knew she had many big moments to choose from.
There was the night Toscanini told her that hers was the finest voice of the century. There was the private concert she gave at the White House for the Roosevelts and the King and Queen of England.
She had received the $10,000 Bok Award as the person who had done the most for her home town, Philadelphia.
To top it all, there was that Easter Sunday in Washington when she stood beneath the Lincoln statue and sang for a crowd of 75,000, which included Cabinet members, Supreme Court Justices, and most members of Congress.
Which of those big moments did she choose? “None of them,” said Hurok. “Miss Anderson told the reporter that the greatest moment of her life was the day she went home and told her mother she wouldn’t have to take in washing anymore.”

Life is a pressure cooker. The pressure keeps mounting and building until you can’t take it anymore. You are ready to explode, blow up. Everywhere you turn there is pressure. The greater the pressure, the more things cook on the inside. There are pressures because there are more variables in your life. There are more people and more responsibilities. There are more people who need you than ever before.
There are more people who have your phone number, both home and cell, your email address, etc. Your world is bigger, you know more people.
External pressures you can separate from, but internal pressures are difficult …. your marriage, your children, etc. External enemies are one thing, but internal things are connected to me.
You can kill the wolf, if you don’t kill the wolf it will kill you. You can’t kill what you are connected to…. your marriage, your child, etc. The internal pressure keeps mounting and you try to say “I’m fine, I’m just fine”, but all the time you are dying on the inside. The pressure is killing you. You’d probably be shocked at the people reading this that are smiling, but on the inside, they are about to explode. The things you can’t talk about, the secrets that you have held inside for so long. All the while the pressure is building on the inside until it has reached the dangerous levels. When you are responsible people count on you, and when they count on you it brings on responsibility and pressure. We would also be surprised at the depressed people reading this.
The world has pressures and some of them kill themselves. Children of God have pressures and it kills them. We wake up tired because all night long the issues have been churning in our heads all night long. The things you can’t talk about, you can’t tell anybody. Nobody knows that your finances are bad, your marriage is strained. We have pressures and we can’t talk to anyone not even our spouses. We are too tore up, we think, to talk to God. But talking to God is the answer for me .

Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.
If you can’t find five minutes, can you spare one or two?
6/24– Can You Spare A Minute
Anger can be lethal. Dr. Lewis Smedes, one of America’s foremost ethicists, told of writing a book on forgiveness. As a part of the book promotion campaign, he appeared on a talk show where people could call in and respond to what he had said.
One lady called and said her child had been killed by a drunk driver and there was no way she could forgive the driver of the automobile. Before Dr. Smedes could answer her, another lady called and said, “I had the same experience.
Four years ago, a drunk killed my son. For two years I held on to my anger and hoped for revenge. Then one day, I realized that the man who killed my son was killing me.”
Let go of anger or it will destroy you. If you hold onto a lighted match long enough, you are the one who will be burned.
Have The Right Blueprint And The Right Perspective
God says don’t build anything I haven’t given you a strategy for or a blueprint. God said if I give you a strategy or blue print that means I’m getting ready to use you!
The only difference in you and the person you admire is this perspective they have on life! If you are disciplined in your perspective, you will be victorious in your outcome!!
It is like going to the eye Doctor so
that you can see better. If you are not Thankful, then you need to get an Spiritual adjustment for your Spiritual eyesight!
One thing I do, that you might try, is putting a reminder on your phone, three times a day, to be more thankful.
Well, that’s pretty petty you might think, how could that work? Just try it for 21 days and see what it does, you may just get surprised!
Your perspective is critical to being an overcomer because it’s not what happens to you, it’s how you react to what happens to you that matters. Ability to manage problems is what separates the CEO from the janitor.
The higher up you go the more problems you will encounter and your ability to have the proper perspective under fire is critical and it takes much discipline. It takes discipline to remain cool and calm under fire.
