Tag: What the Bible says about not giving up

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-5-19

1 Chronicles 16:34 (NKJV) 34 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.

Let’s find the good things today that we can give God thanks and glory for.

Maybe we have just been released from a rehab.

Maybe we are on our first day of giving up smoking, alcohol, over-eating, coffee, fits of anger, etc.

Maybe we are having a pain-free day.

Maybe we were able to pay our bills and buy groceries.

Maybe today is the day we are going to forgive someone that has hurt us.

All of these things, and many more that I have not listed here, can be so HARD at times to do. The flesh is a stickler for sure and is tempted to do the opposite of what is the right and good thing.

I thank God today that we are trying! If we fail, I still thank Him for the effort that was put forth. And that we have another chance, because tomorrow is a NEW day.

Don’t give up. Keep trying!

We love you very much and we are praying that we all get to where we need to be. Amen.

Colossians 1:3 (NKJV) 3 We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you…

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-25-18

Galatians 6:9 (NKJV) 9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

Life and its challenges can be tiring. It can wear us down and cause us to want to give up sometimes.

We may go through seasons where we feel like we can’t seem to catch up or get ahead, no matter what we do. It happens to all of us from time to time. It’s part of life here on earth. It’s normal.

But, feeling like we want to give up shouldn’t cause us to actually want to give up. That feeling we get is simply our emotions pulling on us. We shouldn’t live based on our emotions, though. Emotions are fleshly. We should live by the Spirit!

Romans 8:13 (NKJV) 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

As we learn to live and walk by the Spirit, we will spend less time being ruled by our emotions. We will also spend less time feeling run down, defeated and hopeless.

Instead, we will accomplish so much more. And God’s word promises us a harvest if we don’t give up!

So, push those fleshly emotions down and let the Spirit lead you, drawing your strength from God. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-11-16

Galatians 6:9 (NKJV) 9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

We’d like to encourage you today!

Does it feel like doing the right thing doesn’t really matter anymore? With the way things are in the world, it can appear that going with the flow and taking the easy way out might be easier sometimes.

Don’t give up!

God has promised us that if we don’t give up, we will reap a harvest in due season.

We may not always understand why things happen the way they do, but that’s OK. We aren’t meant to understand everything. We just need to be obedient to the call and the voice of God.

And if we do that, we will reap our reward, whether here in this world or in the world eternal.
