Never a Good Time to Give Up! Part V

Never a Good Time to Give Up!

Part V

Not only do tough times have a definite end but tough times don’t cause God to change His mind about us.

I have noticed that some of our friends have a tendency to be a bit scarce when tough times come our way. Ever notice that? Sometimes it's just a matter of them not knowing what to say. I understand that, a little. But let me draw another analogy from Job. The best thing his three friends did was to sit quietly with Job for seven days. Job did not need a sermon, he did not need anyone to try and explain things, he just needed someone to sit with him in the ashes. Ever been there? There are times when words don’t work. That scares some of us. We want to “fix things.” Or at least we want to explain why things happen the way they do. In reality, we should just sit there. Sometimes tough times simply defy explanation.

Many years ago, Gayle D. Erwin told me, “There is nothing you can do to make God love you more. And there is nothing you can do to make God love you less.” He just won’t change His mind about you. He’s crazy about you! He sings over you! And He never turns His back on you. He promised. You can take that to the bank or as Uncle Si might say, "that’s a fact, Jack!"

Remember, It’s Never a Good Time to Give Up!

Always in Pursuit!
