Today's Scripture<br />

When you hear the blast of the trumpet, rush to wherever it is sounding. Then our God<br />

will fight for us.<br />

Nehemiah 4:20<br />

TOO SOON TO QUIT<br />

God want to give you great and mighty things. God wants to ll your lap with<br />

abundant blessing to over owing. But He also wants you to work and ght for<br />

them because only then are they desires of your heart.<br />

The people rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem with Nehemiah faced constant<br />

threats. They didn't pretend the opposition didn't exist. They made<br />

preparations. They had defense plan, and they didn't let danger keep them<br />

from the work. If they had allowed themselves to worry about their enemies,<br />

they would have stopped working and the opposition would have won!<br />

Sometimes we Christians miss out on the blessings of God because of lack of<br />

commitment and faith. We are sometimes unwilling to stay the course when<br />

confronted with criticism or opposition. Don't be one of these believers. Dig in<br />

your heels, stand your grant, and be determined to ght the good ght of your<br />

faith! Stay focused and ready to step up to what God has called you to do.<br />

God is more interested in what you re becoming than what s happening to you.<br />

He o en allows trials, troubles, tribulations, and problems in your life to teach<br />

you diligence, determination, and character. The problem you re going<br />

through right now? It s a test of your faithfulness. Will you continue to serve<br />

God even when life stinks?<br />

Whatever your step of faith needs to be, take it today. As you do your part, God<br />

is ready to ght your battles for you. He promises that no weapon formed<br />

against you will ever prosper, and we should press forward with con dence,<br />

knowing that if God is for us who would dare to be against us?<br />

God told Joshua in Deuteronomy 31:6, Be strong and of good courage, do not<br />

fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with<br />

you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.<br />

Prayer<br />

For The Day<br />

God, thank You for Your<br />

goodness, grace and<br />

mercy upon me. I choose<br />

to receive Your Word by<br />

faith today, knowing that<br />

You have good things in<br />

store for me. Thank You<br />

for moving on my behalf<br />

and leading me into the<br />

abundant life You have<br />

prepared in the mighty<br />

name of Jesus! Amen.<br />
