May 25 Devotion - Never Give Up

 

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. But as for you, be strong and do not lose courage, for there is reward for your work.”

 فَلاَ نَفْشَلْ فِي عَمَلِ الْخَيْرِ لأَنَّنَا سَنَحْصُدُ فِي وَقْتِهِ إِنْ كُنَّا لاَ نَكِلُّ. فَتَقَوَّوْا أَنْتُمْ، وَلاَ تَخُرْ عَزِيمَتُكُمْ لأَنَّ لِعَمَلِكُمْ ثَوَاباً

Galatians 6:9, 2 Chronicles 15:7

 

We all have God-given dreams and desires. Sometimes it seems to take longer to accomplish our goals than we originally thought, or things do not work out at all.

It's easy to lose enthusiasm and end up just settling where we are. But God doesn't want us to settle, He wants to take us higher. But many times, we miss out on God's best simply because we give up too soon. Sometimes we do not realize how close we are to victory.

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for Your deep and everlasting love for me, Your abundant blessings, and for the riches of Your grace upon my life. God, help me not to give up just because things seem hard. Help me to stay on course in faith; and see my situation turn around. God, I know You are on my side, and You will help fulfil every desire You have placed on my heart. Help me Lord to continue doing good, and never give up trusting You in all faith that I will reap the harvest You have chosen for me, in Your timing. Help me Lord to always say, feel and be trustful in that “I can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13 I pray in Jesus' name, to Jesus be the power, the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,
