Refusing to Quit
Be strong and let us fight bravely for our people and the cities of our God. The LORD will do what is good in his sight."
2 Samuel 10:12
In 1902, a 28-year-old aspiring poet received a rejection slip from the editor of the prestigious Atlantic Monthly. Returned with a batch of poems he had submitted, was this curt note: "Not one worthy of publishing." That poet's name was Robert Frost! In 1905, the University of Bern turned down a dissertation by a young PhD, calling it "fanciful and irrelevant." The name of that physics student was Albert Einstein! In 1894 a 16-year-old boy in Harrow, England, found this note from his speech teacher attached to his report card: "Hopeless, seems incapable of progress." That boy's name was Winston Churchill! There's a message there for you! Even when others offer you no hope or encouragement, refuse to quit! Listen to the words of Joab, who led King David's army: "be strong and let us fight bravely, the Lord will do what is good" (2 Samuel 10:12). Joab knew that as long as you stay on the battlefield God can give you victory. But if you quit, what more can He do for you? Never give up when you know you are right! Believe that all things work together for good if you just persevere. Do not let the odds discourage you; God's bigger than all of them! Refuse to let anybody intimidate you, or deter you from your goals! Fight and overcome every limitation! Remember, every winner - without exception - faced defeat and adversity, and you are no different!
Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me persevere and fight the good fight to Your glory, Amen
