ecently I observed a Brother who had undertaken a task and had obviously made the decision that nothing was going to stand in his way to get this task completed properly and precisely. What made this so especially interesting to me was that he did not approach the task aggressively and nor did he make a big noise about it. He calmly and confidently set himself up to succeed despite the fact that everything was actually against him, in the sense that what he needed to do the task was not available and he had no-one around him with the capacity to assist him. I observed that he was "blind" to these things and did not even acknowledge them as obstacles. A famous football coach is credited with once encouraging his team with the words "obstacles are things you see (only) when you take your eyes off the goal". This Brother also had to contend with the authorities who were not about to make his task any easier.
Yet he persisted and because of this he succeeded! It is noteworthy that the famous Empire State Building, a 102 floor building built in 1930, was completed in 410 days - 1 year and 45 days! The message here is: we can achieve whatever we want to without bypassing or shortcutting, even when there appears to be little to work with. This has also been the experience of those who have gone before us in the Work o f God and whose foundation we now build upon. Let us grasp the challenges that are before us and set our course to the destination "success" in every part of our work, always serving the Lord with gladness.
