Years ago, there was a woman who had a problem that needed to be resolved and she went to the judge everyday. The judge didn't want to be bothered with her or even consider her issue. She refused to give up. This lady basically bugged the heck out of him because she knew that he was the only one that could help her. The judge said, "even though this woman bothers me I will give her what she wants otherwise she will continue to wear me out." This woman was persistent.
This week I want to impart a message of perseverance to you. There are times when giving up may be the best thing for you to do; however when you allow fear to become the determining factor for giving up then it is unacceptable. Fear is the opposite of faith. You must first acknowledge that you are afraid. It could be that you're afraid of failing or losing something or someone. Once you identify what you are fearful of then affirm that you can do anything through your Higher Power who gives you strength (Philippians 4:13).
When you feel like throwing in the towel and walking away, find the courage to pray(1 Chronicles 17: 25).
Next understand that you must not be distracted by negative thoughts, people, or things. Be focused (1 Corinthians 15:58). Keep pushing and believing. Don't give up!
Have a sweet day,
