“Chum On!”
Krystal Land © 2024...
When one of our now grown children, Nathaniel, was only two years old, he was known for being quite a go-getter. He knew what he wanted, when he wanted it, and was not afraid to go after it. He conversed quite well, but even when he struggled to say something, his expressive eyebrows and determined attempts spoke with much clarity.
One of my fondest memories of him at that age, was a time when he wanted something, and I just couldn’t make out what he was saying. After trying to inform me of what he was trying to say several times, he huffed, grabbed my hand, and said, “Chum on!” It’s like he was saying, “If I can’t get you to hear me, I’ll just show you what I’m talking about!”
How many times have you felt like that in life? Perhaps even now there’s something you need someone to understand, but you just can’t get the message across. Don’t give up. Remember, God knew we would need endurance. The importance of endurance was written in His word, such as, Hebrews 10:36, “For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised.”
There may be a time when we need to simply grab someone by the hand and say, “Chum on!” The persistence of a two-year-old is certainly a lesson for adults, serving as a great example of endurance and boldness.
