Have you ever heard the old story of the two spirations? They are essentially for every worthwhile achievement. If either is missing the enterprise is doomed to failure, and if you have not been making your life as successful as you would like, you must go to work and find which of them has been overlooked. I am sure it is hardly necessary to tell you that the two spirations in question are inspiration and perspiration.
First you need inspiration. Sheer hard work, blind plodding, or brutal hammering will not bring success. You must also have regular inspiration.
Second, perspiration. There is no success without persevering hard work in the direction of your goal. Recently I heard one of the greatest living musicians address a class of musical students. He said, “I know of no road to success except hard work. If there is such a road I have not heard of it.”
Contact God daily for inspiration; and then work hard.
Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain (Psalm 127:1).
Or, it could be said to “believe and act”. When our faith inspires us, our acts must reflect that faith. Weak faith and shallow acts will not get the job done. If we believe fully and act accordingly, our world will become the garden God created for us.
Acting on faith,
