I Can't Give Up

Isaiah 62:12 "And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of The Lord: and thou shall be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken."

Did you not know you were sought out? Yeah, because not one soul sought after God, but it was indeed Him Who picked us in Psalm 14:2. So while we were off galavanting into sin, God patiently waited for us to realize His Love, His Purpose, His Proposal to spend the rest of our lives with Him. Now, what does this have to do with not giving up? It has EVERYTHING to do with us not giving up you guys. God did not give up on us. Not today, not yesterday, not last week because we are still here. Being able to breathe, mess up, then get better is God not giving up on us. Realizing that wonderful news, we mustn't give up on ourselves or others.

When in a marriage, you agree til death do you part, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer. Okay, so we most likely did not repeat these vows once accepting Christ, but that was apart of the cost we had to count once allowing God total Lordship over our lives. Jesus committed to us by stating He will never leave us nor forsake us throughout The Bible. Even in the verse above it states that we will never be forsaken. So don't give up! I don't care what the enemy is telling you, don't give in!  The post yesterday imposed a question on why do we praise God? If we are indeed praising and worshiping for the right reasons we are then empowered to keep going! God provides a supernatural strength once faced with adversity. You can't give up because it is not just about you, but what God has placed in you which is dependent for others around you.

There are people depending on you to keep going. Have you ever thought about that? We are living in a time where it is so easy to just say, "forget it." Think about the impact giving up can cause to people who look up to you? If you give up, it can trigger a domino effect. The scripture states that God is our Redeemer! Another reason as to why we are unable to forfeit in life because He has already foretold the outcome! We do not need a super hero or Kevin Gates telling us "I don't get tired." News flash, we ALL get tired, but God never slumbers nor sleeps. Christians don't give up. We give it to God. Whatever "it" may be just relinquish all control to Him. I can't give up, you can't give up, we can't give up. So don't! We are in this together, fam! Keep going and keep in mind that our Redeemer lives and will forever be there for us. Aren't you thankful? It is #ThankfulThursday so rejoice that God has not and will not give up on us which should empower us not to as well!
