Hebrews 6:12

Do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promise.

We can get sluggish when we get tired or don’t see results.  Sometimes all we need is to look for examples of people who have overcome in situations similar to ours.  If we can learn what they did and imitate them, we will build up our hope and faith.  Our goal is the promise, and God never said it would be easy, but He did say He would help us along the way.
