Good Story
The story is told that Andrew Jackson’s boyhood friends just couldn’t understand how he became a famous general and then the President of the United States.
They knew of other men who had greater talent but who never succeeded.
One of Jackson’s friends said, “Why, Jim Brown, who lived right down the pike from Jackson, was not only smarter but he could throw Andy three times out of four in a wrestling match.
But look where Andy is now.”
Another friend responded, “How did there happen to be a fourth time?
Didn’t they usually say three times and out?”
“Sure, they were supposed to, but not Andy.
He would never admit he was beat—he would never stay ‘throwed.’
Jim Brown would get tired, and on the fourth try Andrew Jackson would throw him and be the winner.”
Picking up on that idea, someone has said, “The thing that counts is not how many times you are ‘throwed,’ but whether you are willing to stay ‘throwed.’”
The Christian life is a battle.
Scripture often speaks of God’s children as soldiers, and we should not expect to have things always be calm and peaceful.
The question is not whether we ever fail, but whether we get back up when we do.
says, “For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.”

How to Get Biblical Faithfulness
Why We Want It
H
I hope that as Christians that walk with the one who rescued you from hell and the grave - that one of your great desires is to please the one who made you.
Through faith in Him and by his grace we a rescued.
It seems that faith is connected to answers to our prayer.
Sidebar.. this kind of faith requires a trust in him that even if there is harm, we understand that He will give what’s best for us.. so the answer is rarely no, but if we ask according to His will it might be “not yet”
It’s in the big 3
What or Who is the Source
Hebrews 12
We are all given enough faith right from the beginning to be able to persevere in the faith, but there is things we can do to increase the faith...
We need to get into the word.
And by word I mean the Bible.
You pick it up.
You read it.
Listen to it on the way to work.
It is not what people say about the word - that increases understanding at times.... but getting in the word is the integral way that our faith is increased.
We should have increasing faith as we walk with Him.
Will storms come?
Yes.
Will we be afraid of what the world may do to us? Sure… but in the end Christ is with us.
Another Good Story
The story is told about a little boy who had been invited to a friend’s birthday party.
He was so excited and started counting the days until the party.
But the morning of the party he was devastated when he found that a blizzard had struck their little town.
The snow was falling in wet, heavy flakes, and the wind was howling.
“I don’t think you should go to the party,” his father said.
The little boy was so disappointed.
He began to importune his father, begging to be allowed to go.
Finally, much to his surprise, his dad said, “All right, you can go to the party.”
The little boy bundled up in his hat and coat and mittens and started down the street to his friend’s house.
When he got to the door, he turned around and saw his father turning to walk back home.
It was then he realized that his father had been walking behind him all the way to make sure he was safe.
There may be times when we feel like we are alone, but in truth we are always surrounded by the love and goodness of God.
There is never a time when we are truly on our own.
Even when we do not believe Him as we should, "he abideth faithful" ().
How it Applies
If we are going to increase our faith we obviously have to believe that He is there.
Sometimes we won’t see Him but He is always present.
We may stumble from time to time, but He is always there to protect us.
