But there are some things that you cannot be sure of. You must take a chance. If you wait for perfect weather, you will never plant your seeds. If you are afraid that every cloud will bring rain, you will never harvest your crops. [Ecclesiastes 11:4 (ERV)]

Lord, what is the plan for today? Has my fear of failure kept me from starting your work? Do I delay because the conditions aren’t perfect? Yet, is there ever an ideal time for anything? Thank you for reminding me that less than perfect progress is far better than no progress at all! Replace my fear with faith and my procrastination with action. Please give me the confidence that you will provide whatever it is I need to do your work today.

…Who waits until circumstances completely favor his undertaking, will never accomplish anything. [Martin Luther]

 

 Behold the turtle. He makes progress only when he sticks his neck out. [James Bryant Conant]
