A friend of mine once told me that he believed that the biggest return on an activity usually comes from the last 5% of effort. Being diligent to the end produces a great reward.

It’s like digging a well. You dig and dig until you want to give up, but if you diligently continue you eventually hit the spring of water and your work becomes worthwhile.

Hebrews 6:11 teaches, “We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so that what you hope for may be fully realized.”

We can get so weary working on a new project or product that we want to stop before our project is fully complete. God desires us to persevere diligently to the end to reap the greatest reward.
