Don’t Give Up
Don’t Give Up
You need endurance, so that after you have done God’s will, you may receive what was promised. (Heb. 10:36)
The Easy Out
Often the easiest thing to do is to quit. Just give up. Return to the comfort and convenience of mediocrity. Forget about your dream, your passion, or your goal. Give in to the words of the critics, give up to the opposition, and give way to the obstacles. Simply tuck tail and run away.
But effective people are able to accomplish seemingly impossible tasks because they never give up. They never buckle under. Despite mounting criticism, intense opposition, and overwhelming obstacles, they persevere with determined resolve. They refuse to throw in the towel.
The Fight Within
Great power is embodied in persistence. The race is not always won by the fastest; the game is not always won by the strongest. Instead, the one who keeps on keeping on will receive “what was promised.” Consider the postage stamp. Its usefulness consists in the ability to stick to one thing until it gets there.
When you are tempted to quit, resist. Endure in the battle until the evil day is over. Press on in the face of every reason to withdraw. Until the war is over, fight to the end. Until the race is finished, keep running. Until the wall is built, keep stacking bricks. Never give up. Never. The promises of God are always at the end. So don’t quit. Don’t give up.
Bottom Line
It is always too soon to quit. Keep persevering. Keep fighting.
