I want to share something today for all of those who have ever been tempted to give up and quit! This is the website devotional by Jerry Savelle:
Why Quit?
If you knew, beyond a shadow of doubt, that your adversity was going to turn into a glorious victory, would you still quit? What looks to be a total disaster, God can turn into a wonderful victory. He can turn your tears of sorrow into tears of joy. You can even have joy in your heart and laugh at the devil during every attack because you know that you have the victory and will come out stronger in the end!
“But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive” (Genesis 50:20).
Joseph went through great adversity, time after time, but ended up at the top of the nation! He held fast to the vision God had given him and saw it come to pass in the end.
I don’t know what kind of trial you’re going through today, but if you’ll be patient in it, then you will see the end of the Lord’s compassion and mercy. God can use the very thing that Satan has brought against you as a tool for deliverance and victory. In the natural, it may look like total disaster, but God can turn it into the greatest blessing you have ever experienced.
Choose to continue to stand because we have everything to gain by standing, and everything to lose by quitting. Why give up? Why quit believing the Word? The Word works!
Confession: I believe that every adversity in my life will turn around for my good. I will trust God and enjoy a great victory!
AMEN! I have heard so many testimonies over the years from people who BEGAN to stand in faith, but then chose to give up and quit because it SEEMED to be too hard. Many of them quit just before they would have seen a major breakthrough! DON'T be THAT one! AMEN! Stay the course. Finish your race. Go hard after the things of God and then EXPECT good and godly things to happen in your life (John 10:10 AMP)! Here is Hillsong United with "Touch The Sky":Shalom in Him!
