But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, 15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. – 2 Timothy 3.14-15

Continue in the things you have learned. That seems like a simple enough instruction. I think we might say today ‘just keep on keeping on.’

For most of us the Christian life is not going consist of a lot of superstar moments.  We are not going to fill our journals with loads of great successes and marvellous victories. Sometimes it is just plodding along day after day.

And that’s not a bad thing. One of our greatest missionaries was William Carey who was often referred to as ‘God’s Plodder’ for his determination despite years and years of apparent failure.

All God wants out of us is that we stay faithful. We just continue on we don’t get weary in well doing. We stay steadfast and unmoveable. We always abound in His work. We run the race with patience because He is the author and finished and He who began a good work will perform it.
