Water Sculpture : The Planet Inside

I know this isn't a sunrise but its cloudy again out there. I will use this image which I'm very proud of to demonstrate a point about patience, determination and perseverance.
Squeezing an eye dropper and releasing the shutter on a camera at the perfect time is harder than I thought it would be to create these water collisions. I've shot about 3000 frames and walked away with 3 collisions. When I've released the shutter at the exact moment the resulting images are created. I'm happy I persevered. Thinking of that and how that might relate to me on my journey I wondered what the Bible says about perseverance? Here are a few I've found...

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." ~Galatians 6:9

"Being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light." ~Colossians 1:11-12

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you face trials of many kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance, and perseverance must finish its work in order for you to be mature and complete." ~James 1:2-4

And several others that I've found. I'm determined to walk with the Lord and rely on Him for all things. I'm learning to hand it over to Him before I attempt things and just ask for His Hand to be apart of them. I'm learning to become patient as most thing do not come the moment I want them to, but in His time and that may be never at all...It's His plan for us and not nessasaraly what WE Want. So be patient, commit things to Him ( which I'm still learning to do) and persevere, the results may be worth it.

"God knows our situation; He will not judge us as if we had no difficulties to overcome. What matters is the sincerity and perseverance of our will to overcome them." ~C.S. Lewis
