I am sharing Jerry Savelle's devotional again today because it is SO simple and SO good!
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!!! Don't ever forget THIS wonderful promise from God found in Galatians 6:9:9 And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap, if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint.
AMEN! Let's run our race to WIN IT, with everything within us! Rewards are waiting at the end of our obedience! AMEN! Here is Hillsong Kids with "Voices of Freedom":
