On December 10, 1914, there was a massive explosion in West Orange, New Jersey in USA that engulfed and destroyed Thomas Edison’s entire life’s work. Calmly, Edison told his astonished 24 year-old son, Charles “our entire factory has been burnt to ashes, but all the mistakes we made so far have been burnt with the factory; we will start all over again afresh tomorrow”. He was 67 years old at that time. The next day was a fresh beginning for the inventor and his son.

DCLM Daily Manna 24 April 2019

In the text, Prophet Jeremiah was also in despair, having been mocked, derided, confounded, discouraged and terrorised. His agony almost took the better of him to the extent that he accused God of deceiving him into seemingly difficult and arduous ministry.

For a moment, he even decided not to preach or deliver God’s messages again because of the contents and repercussions of the messages. But the Lord never abandoned him.

Through divine succour, sustenance, enablement and reassurance, he was able to pull through his travails and continue his ministry successfully. DCLM Daily Manna 24 April 2019

Sometimes, we go through times we wish never existed! One may go through difficulty where one might wish that one should die! Only a strong desire to fulfil one’s God-given mission will propel one forward. Great people do not cry; they try to rebuild their dreams.

They do not give up but live up to the challenges life throws to them. They start all over again with great hope, ardour, determination, zeal and resilience!
