The devil wants you to quit,but don’t. That’s one way he steals,kills,and destroy your hopes and dreams.Giving up is always easy but is it the best thing to do? When the pressures and stresses of life collapse on us most of us feel like throwing in the towel and running or walking away as fast as we can. Unfortunately it’s easier to say that you won’t give up than to actually follow through when the going gets tough.No matter where you go it follows you or new problems develop. Even Jesus reached a point in his life where he didn’t want to go through the devastating things he had to endure. In Mark 14:36 and Luke 22:42 Jesus asked: God if it was possible to take this cup away from Him, nevertheless not His will but God’s be done.
Most of us face difficulties that make us stronger and wiser. Jesus knew the difficulties and he endured it to the end and is now sitting at the right hand of God our Father, interceding on our behalf. When we look at Jesus as our example we see that, because He believed and trusted God His heavenly Father, everything worked out for His good. Jesus kept his mind on God despite the pressures, stress, hate and all the evil that was taking place around Him. People you have to realize four things: Giving up will not make you successful. Giving up will not pay your bills. Giving up will cause more hurt and pain then you realize. Lastly, giving up puts you in the category of losers and gives the devil the victory.
If you need more proof of people, other than Jesus Christ, who succeeded because they never gave up then go with me to Hebrews 11:1-39. It tells you of ordinary people like Abraham, Noah, Joseph, Moses, David and a whole lot of men and women who trusted and had faith in God. Ordinary people that were triumphant, victorious, and successful because they never gave up and they never lost hope, or confidence, in God. Can you imagine being in a den of hungry lions and the lions behaving as though you are one of them and not a tasty meal?(Read Daniel 6:4-27). Can you imagine yourself in a hot fiery furnace that kills those at the door but you, fortunate you, walk in there as though it’s an air-conditioned room and after being in there for a day you walk out with not even a burn? (Read Daniel 3:14-29). After you read these stories how can it be possible for you to give up?
All you need to do is give God a chance to see what he can do for you. I have not and will not mention the things God has done and is doing for me because I will not give the devil satisfaction by having pride festering in me and that’s not what I’m here for. I am here to tell you that God is real and the things He did then He is still doing today. Remember, all these people and myself had to walk in righteousness and holiness before all this could take place. Are you willing to try God today? Are you willing to accept His gift of His beloved Son Jesus? Jesus is the only way to guarantee eternal life.

To the only wise God, Our Savior, let glory, honor, praise, and thanks be given to you for using me to get your message out to your people. To God be power and dominion, both now and forever more, in Jesus’ name we say Amen.
DO NOT GIVE UP ON GOD BECAUSE HE WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU!
