Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith….
It does not take any special talent to give up and lie down on the side of the road of life and say, “I quit.” Anybody, whether they are a believer or not, can do that.
Quitting is a temptation we all face at one time or another, but when you get close to Jesus, or better yet, when He gets close to you, He begins to pump strength and energy and courage into you. And something wonderful begins to happen—He causes you to want to press forward!
I used to want to give up and quit. But now I get out of bed and start each day fresh and new. I begin my day by praying and reading the Bible and speaking the Word, seeking after God. It’s amazing what a difference it makes when you begin your day drawing closer to God.
When you feel the urge or the temptation to quit, don’t give in. Look to Jesus and follow His example. He pressed forward even in the most difficult circumstances, and He will give you the strength to do the same. He is your Leader; He is the Source and the Finisher of your faith.
Prayer of the Day: Lord, help me place my confidence solely in You, to trust Your unwavering love and guidance over all worldly things, amen.
