Keep At It!
Life has two rules: #1 Never quit #2 Always remember rule # 1. (Duke Ellington, late American jazz artist)
This often-quoted “rule” is an encouragement to keep going on. It’s like Winston Churchill’s famous challenges in World War II, pledging to keep fighting at every point to guarantee a win. Why never quit? Because, as a noted football coach, Vince Lombardi, observed, “Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit.” His teams often came from behind, refusing to quit, and won.
And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. (Luke 11:9)
