Persistence is really faith in action. Years ago, I wrote an article called, "The Power of Persistence." Here is an excerpt from it: Thomas Edison, whom, in his words, stated to a critic who said he'd failed 10,000 times (while trying to invent the light bulb), "No, I've just found 10,000 ways not to do something." Then he persisted and did truly invent the light bulb! Noah persevered 120 years in building the Ark--while being greatly ridiculed and probably, persecuted otherwise.
