Stability, Reality, Vitality, and Faith. Today’s cup of coffee lets us know we must add to our faith to experience vitality. Add to vitality stability. Add to stability knowledge. And add to knowledge, self-control, and self-control, perseverance. I believe this to be a formula for life that we should pass on to our children and our children’s children.

Often, we start with the idea of persevering or the desire to persevere without knowledge of the whole journey or self-control. It is interesting that to have self-control, you need knowledge, and to have perseverance, you must have self-control. When we have faith, goodness, knowledge, self-control, and determination, we can expect stability, reality, and vitality. These are all benefits that we have been afforded. Make full use of them.

“For this reason, make every effort to add to your faith.” 2 Peter:5-10
