Never give up

​Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Deuteronomy 31:6

It is tempting to give up and give in when we are faced with insurmountable challenges. Sometimes we just cannot see our way out of a situation. There is no apparent light at the end of the tunnel. Yet, there is no prevailing evidence that God cannot fix it and that He cannot deliver us. On the contrary, there is example after example that God is a deliverer, a healer, a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. We also know that He may not come when we want Him, but He’s always, always on time.

“Brothers and sisters in Christ, your case is similar—at least mine is. O Lord God! You have not left us at any time. We have had dark nights, but the star of love has shone forth amid the blackness, we have had our cloudy days, but our sun has never set until we have had glimpses of sunlight from heaven, we have gone through many trials, but never to our detriment, always to our advantage and the conclusion from our past experience—at least, I can speak of my own positively—is that He who has been with us in six troubles, will not forsake us in the seventh. He has said, “‘I will never, never leave thee, and will never, never, never forsake thee.’” 

The believer never gives up but trusts through and through.
