Pluck

Today from Oswald Chambers: “We have to take ourselves by the scruff of the neck and shake ourselves and we will find that we can do what we said we could not.  The curse with most of us is that we won’t.  The Christian live is one of incarnate spiritual pluck.”

No sugar coating or sympathy here from Chambers.  In three sentences Chambers conveys a lot.  It occurs to me that Chambers was about 100 year ahead of Nike’s “Just Do It” and about 70 ahead of Yoda’s “Do or do not.  There is no try.”  Still, the message is generally the same.
