No Time To Quit

Athletes often hear from coaches, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going." That is so true. It might be easier to just sit back and let the problems overwhelm us, but it is not very satisfying.

The Lord expects His followers to be disciplined, to persevere, that is why He gave us a spirit of power. So don't be timid in times of trial, be resolute. Face the issue with prayerful determination. You will be able to overcome, because the Lord will help you.

Remember, a trying time is no time to quit trying!

2 Timothy 1:7 "For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline."

The Hungry Dog

It is the hungry dog that does the hunting. A comfortable, satisfied feeling sometimes leads people to complacency, and possibly boredom. On the other hand, people with a desire to reach a goal are constantly busy and alive.

Having something we want before us helps us to have a purpose in what we do. If we are a student, that needed diploma motivates us. If we are parents, having our children become responsible citizens requires determination and steadfastness. As Christians, a longing for Heaven and peace prompts us to take up our crosses daily.

Matthew 5:6 "Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled"
