Nov 14 - Don't Give Up - God's Got It

"So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.” Hebrews 10:35-36 (NLT)

Get ready Gethsemane; the time has come! As you know, God called us to join Him in His work. When God decides to work through His people, He often gives assignments that have “God-sized” dimensions. Why has God chosen or called us?

God has called us because He wants to reveal Himself and because He wants to bless us. Through our obedience to this call, God will bless us because He blesses those who are obedient to Him. Gethsemane, this is not the time for us to give up and throw away our trust in God.

Hebrews 10:35-36 tells us that even as we face trials and persecution, we must stand firm. We must remain faithful and patiently endure so that we may obtain God’s blessing. We are encouraged to persevere. It is important that we do not become discouraged and give into despair at the onset of trials.

So, Gethsemane, don’t give up or throw in the towel. God has this thing under control. He will see each of us through whatever trials that He sends our way according to His word. Continued obedience through the fulfillment of our pledges and constant prayer will be richly rewarded.

Prayer Focus: Almighty Father in Heaven, You know each one of us. You know the desires of our hearts. Lord, bless us in a mighty way as we come together to work for the Kingdom. Touch our minds so that we are not distracted by the current state of our surroundings. Father, bless our finances, stretch them and multiply them so that they may be used in the building and uplifting of your Kingdom. Release your loving provision that we might be blessed through our obedience to your call. And Father, as we progress forward into our assignment. Allow us to come together as one in accordance to 2 Corinthians 8:14, supporting our brothers and sisters so that together we may share in the blessings of Your word. Amen.
