It's Never a Good Time to Give Up! Part VI

Never a Good Time to Give Up!

Part VI

I have purposely kept these posts shorter so they would have a little more impact and you could easily remember the nugget for that day. Let’s review since that helps most of us learn.

First, we learned that tough times do not mean God has forgotten us. He has not. He’s with you just like he was on your very best day.

Second, we learned that in tough times it’s still important to do the right thing. There is NEVER a right time to not do the right thing just like there is never a good time to give up!

Third, we learned that while it may seem like tough times are going to last forever, they won’t. There is a limit to what God will allow to come your way. At some point, just like a good parent, he will stand up and say, “That’s enough.”

Fourth, we were reminded that tough times do not change the way God thinks about us. He loves us just as much during tough times as he does during the good times.

So, finally we come to the conclusion of these promises and it’s all wrapped up in verse 11. We have a future even though we don’t feel like we are going to survive. Our future is not one that we are just going to squeak by in but it is one that we are going to prosper in and one where nothing is going to harm us and one that we can look forward to with great confidence. As a matter of fact there may be some days when the hope of your prosperous future is the only thing that will help you get through.

Remember what I said in a previous post, the light at the end of the tunnel is not a train, it’s God shining the light of His favor upon you and sooner than later, that light is going to shine on you and me!

Until then though, remember, “It’s Never a Good Time to Give Up!”

Always in Pursuit!

PS. Watch for two new posts yet this week on laments and imprecatory Psalms.
