"Most people give up not knowing how close they were to success." - Unknown
‘Can you see anything?’ his assistant asked as Carter’s eyes adjusted
to the semi-darkness. Carter could see well enough, but he had
difficulty speaking because of the dazzling array of treasure spread out
before him. For more than two thousand years, tourists, grave robbers
and archaeologists had searched for the burial places of Egypt’s
Pharaohs. Armed with only a few scraps of evidence, British
archaeologist Howard Carter began his own explorations.
After
many years, Carter’s search seemed doomed to failure. Finally, Carter
unlocked an ancient Egyptian tomb. No one in the modern world had ever
seen anything like it.
The king’s embalmed body lay within a nest of
three coffins, the inner one of solid gold, the outer ones of hammered
gold covering wooden frames. On the king’s head was a magnificent golden
portrait mask, and numerous pieces of jewelry lay on the body and in
its wrappings.
When thoughts of 'giving up' on life
creeps into your mind: because of delays, negative opinions or strong
discouragement, remember why you started in the first place. Like
Carter, even though it won't happen in one day, be comforted because one
day it will happen. Have you held on to that relationship, job or
investment but nothing to show for it yet...it's not time to give up
yet, keep seeking!
Let us pray: Father, I'll keep seeking till I find, in Jesus name.
WISDOM NUGGET: Galatians 6:9
"And let us not be weary...for in due season we shall reap..." - KJV
