Life can be tough: Don't give up!

 
In a tough race? Don't quit! Sooner or later, you'll reach the point where your hard work during lean times will pay off. After Nehemiah and Ezra led their people to rebuild Jerusalem, they had a great day of celebration, just 52 days after the work had begun.

Nehemiah's rebuilding project involved everyone. Mothers, fathers, grandparents, children, teenagers – everyone. And all of them knew how tough life could be. They had a rough past, because of the exile, and their worst days were only a few weeks behind them. Their forefathers and mothers had made some choices that cost them dearly. Just ruined them. They had known a lot of discouragement, a lot of disappointment – no doubt they were really numb to the entire experience.

When you get to a point of total exhaustion, it's hard to keep going. This can be so tough – but you must resolve now to never give up.
