Today Reminder (Give up) – 30 August 2017


A reminder for today
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. (2 Timothy 4:7)

Many people arrive at the moment in their lives (maybe more than once) where they just want to throw in the towel and give up. The enemy is a master at identifying your weaknesses and then he will focus on those until you break. It is his mission to burden you to a point where you have no more to give and to push you away from God so that you stand alone and then you are vulnerable.
I guess we all have that moment in our challenges when we just want to let go. This week I am over loaded with work. I am tired. I have failed the Lord and I have reached a point where I am so tired that I do not know how I will get to the next hour let alone the next day.

I love this verse. I have fought the good fight and I have finished my course. I have kept the faith. This is all that we need to do. We must keep the faith and finish the course. We must keep fighting the good fight and live out the gospel. The Lord came in this morning and just filled me with His Holy Spirit. He renewed my faith and reminded me that I must continue to trust Him. It is in these storms that we will see His glory, because we do not give up and because we keep fighting. 

I do not know how things are at your side, but I know what the news tells me and I see what is happening in Texas and the rest of the world as we all face troubles. We must stand firm in our faith and fight the enemy on our knees. We must not give up, instead we must pray more. 

I will be courageous and strong and I will face my storms with no fear, because I worship an all-powerful and amazing loving God. He will never forsake me and He will never let me stand alone. I will break the enemy and I will show God to all in all that I am and in all that I do. He is my greatest moments.

Lord, we bring the world and the challenges people are facing to you. We pray for the people of Texas during this terrible time and we ask that your name will be glorified and that you will strengthen those whom are working to save other. We ask that you will be with all who are reading this blog today and that you will be with them in the challenges and that you will show your glory and take away our burdens. I pray for strength and hope and I ask that you will keep us safe. In Jesus name. 

Have an awesome day, dear friend of Jesus. 

Cheers
