Victory over Difficulties, Resolution to obtain – Charles Spurgeon

THERE is nothing but what you can make a way through if you can find something harder to bore it with. Look at the Mont Cenis tunnel, made through one of the hardest of known rocks: with a sharp tool, edged with diamond, they have pierced the heart of the Alps, and made a passage for the commerce of nations. As St. Bernard says: “Is your work hard? set a harder resolution against it, for there is nothing so hard that it cannot be cut by something harder still.” May the Spirit of God work in you invincible resolution and unconquerable perseverance. Let not the iron break the northern iron and the steel. Under persecutions and difficulties, let God’s people resolve on victory, and by faith they shall have it, for according to our faith so shall it be unto us.
