It is interesting to see someone with great willpower. The Cambridge Dictionary defines “Will” as used to talk about what is going to happen in the future, especially things that you are certain about or things that are planned.

John Rambling was an engineer in the late 1800s and his will was misguided, according to the experts. He had a plan to build a bridge connecting New York and Long Island. John Rambling was ridiculed for a ridiculous idea because it had never done before. John’s son, Washington, was on board with the project. However, after construction was underway, Rohn Rambling died on the site. Washington was in severe shock and was left unable to work for some time and became crippled.

Washington’s will to finish the project started by his dad became so great he had to continue. Although crippled, Washington figured out how to communicate by waving his figure to his wife. For the following 13 years Washington gave instructions by pointing his finger at his wife… we can all dream 😊. From all this work and will of a man carrying out the vision of his father, the famous Brooklyn Bridge was completed.

God’s Word tells us, “Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit” (Psalm 51:12). Just as the story of the creation of the Brooklyn Bridge, Washington lost his joy but regained it when his will to complete his purpose reemerged. I believe God has given our church a mission that is bigger than any one person. However, each person can gain joy by finding their will to work toward God’s mission for us.
