Don't Give Up!

Bible Passage

1 Corinthians 10:13 CSB

No temptation has come upon you except what is common to humanity. But God is faithful; he will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to bear it.

Introduction

All of us have been tempted to lose hope and give up.

But we always have a choice: focus on God and stay in faith, or focus on the problem and give up.

Problems, no matter how huge they seem to us,  are no problem to God.

Nothing is too hard, or complicated, for God to solve.

But God wants us to trust Him.

So what should we do when you are being tempted and feel like giving in and giving up?

Refuse!

Just keep your focus on the Lord and rejoice in His faithfulness.

Remember that God cannot lie, and will never fail.

God will see us through.

Hebrews 10:23 CSB

Let us hold on to the confession of our hope without wavering, since he who promised is faithful.

Application

When the devil tries to steal your faith, he tries to get you to quit speaking in agreement with the Word of God.

Don't let it happen!

Hold fast to speaking your faith!

Keep on saying what the Word of God says about you and your situation.

Don't be moved by the circumstances.

Galatians 6:9 CSB

Let us not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don’t give up.

Closing

Don't grow weary.

Keep your eyes on the Lord.

His Word will work and produce a harvest of blessing in your life.

Don't doubt it!

As we finish out the rest of this week, have a mindset that says:  I will keep trusting in God and never give up!
