i think i can, i think i can

The Little Red Engine That Could is an all time favorite children's book in the Poth family.

The thesis of that classic little colorful book is this: 

'tackle each and every task before you with all your heart, mind, and soul;  you are to never ever give up but you are to rather persevere in the task at hand, no matter how ominous it may is.'

Our encouragement from the Word of God today for our lives and ministries is this:  run, fight and  take hold!  Run the race with endurance!  Fight the fight of faith with heart and soul!  Take hold of eternal life to which you were called! (1 Cor. 9; 2 Tim 4)

'I think I can, I think I can' isn't a bad saying, but a better one yet is, 'I know I can, I know I can' because He said, 'I could'! (Phil 4)
