"Press ON" - Daily Word #8
Have you ever felt like giving up?
To be truthful, I have. And many, many times till I have even lost count. :)
The Bible encourages us all today in 2 Corinthians 4:16...
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day."
Amen!!!
Look at the life of Joop Zoetemelk who is now in his 70's. He is considered Netherland's most successful cyclist, having finished the Tour de France 16 times! Wow, that's truly an amazing feat. He was placed 2nd Position FIVE times... before finally winning his 1st in 1980. That's having a Not-Giving-Up spirit!!
There are times you and I may be getting so close to achieving the success we desire, but we lose the momentum and the opportunity because we give up prematurely.
You see, Perseverance is a Key to a Victorious Christian life!
The Bible extols us to FIX OUR GAZE not to the things that are Seen, but to the Unseen. Because the World and all that we experience here (the Seen) is temporary but the Life in Christ and our Future Reign with Him (the Unseen) is ETERNAL.
As Believers, we are called to Press ON to Faithfully Live Out this ONE LIFE in Him and for Him. So that at the end of our day, we may be able to say like in 2 Timothy 4:7
"I have Fought the Good Fight, I have Finished the Race, I have Kept the Faith.
Will you choose to Press ON today?
Blessings & Shalom.
