DON’T QUIT
TEXT: PHILIPPIANS 3:14
VERSE OF THE DAY:
_“FOR WHATSOEVER IS BORN OF GOD OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: AND THIS IS THE VICTORY THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, EVEN OUR FAITH”- 1 JOHN 5:4_
Throughout our lifetime, we will all face situations that test our will, defy our determination, and challenge our character. Remember, even if life were a bed of roses, you will still need to avoid the thorns.
Even though our personal limits may be challenged, defeat should never be accepted as an option. The fact remains that the difference between a winner and a loser is not always that the loser fell on hard times. Rather, the difference often lies in how the adversity was faced. While some people stare tough times right in the eye, others are quick to surrender to a challenge. Which one are you?
Some people give up before they even start. Their rationale is why make the effort when the odds of winning are stacked against me. Some people when they are faced with a challenge are surprised, overwhelmed, and ill-prepared to rise to the occasion.
Some other people tend to reach out for help as soon as they are faced with a challenge. The problem is that the more reliant you are on others, the less reliant you are on yourself. There are people who don’t have the stomach to face adversity. They give up so many times in life and they accept defeat without making an effort.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, help me not to quit in Jesus’ name, Amen.
