Persistence is the quality that makes someone to continue to do something even though it is difficult and opposed by others. It is perseverance. The story of the widow is an interesting picture of a persistent person. She had an issue with another person and needed someone (this time a judge) to defend her. She tried severally to get the attention of the judge but to no avail. She didn't stop, she kept knocking on the door of the judge until one day, the judge decided to give her audience. She refused to stop knocking. She persevered till she got answers from the judge. There are people or places you want to go to for assistance this season, keep knocking on their doors until they give a listening ear. Don't stop for any reason. Surely there will be opposition from people or difficulties on the way, but you cannot return back without an answer. That is persistence, not giving up on something until you get the results. In a long distance race, only those who run till the end are regarded. At times, some runners want to give up half way but they are encouraged to continue. Life is like a long distance race, only the persevering can get to the end. You cannot give up too soon, the answer is ahead of you. Go for it, don't be deceived and don't give in to discouragement. Persist in your quest, one day you will receive the blessing,
