In looking over Cy Young’s pitching record, Henry Himmil noted that the great baseball star won 511 out of 906 games, a record that has never been equaled.
Young won just a few more than half his games. To be an outstanding success in any endeavor, it isn’t necessary to be right all the time. If you’re right more than half the time that may win a medal or make a million dollars. The idea is to keep pitching.

The patience of Jesus Christ
The patience of Jesus Christ
However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life.
Then Jesus answered and said, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me.”

And I appeal to you, brethren, bear with the word of exhortation, for I have written to you in few words.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;
Then you will understand the fear of the Lord,
And find the knowledge of God.
My son, if you receive my words, And treasure my commands within you,
So that you incline your ear to wisdom,
And apply your heart to understanding;
Yes, if you cry out for discernment,
And lift up your voice for understanding,
If you seek her as silver,
And search for her as for hidden treasures;

Our soul waits for the Lord;
He is our help and our shield.
;
But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.
Behold, the Lord God shall come with a strong hand,
And His arm shall rule for Him;
Behold, His reward is with Him,
And His work before Him.
Whoever is too impoverished for such a contribution
Chooses a tree that will not rot;
He seeks for himself a skillful workman
To prepare a carved image that will not totter.
