Do not give up

“Therefore we do not give up. Even though our outer person is being destroyed, our inner person is being renewed day by day.”2 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭16‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

There are times when we want to give up, we are emotionally exhausted; we have given all we have and still more is needed. I’ve been here many times, in these times I cry out to the Lord, “You must be my strength!” Then I step out believing I have it. I must do this, it is how God works in my life.

I have been injured and at those times I know it was an attack from my enemy. I learned not to ride my bike as this was the most common place he attacked, another time I was recovering from broken ribs and carrying grocery bags into the kitchen. The laces on my trekking boots locked and I fell hard. It hurt, a lot. I screamed out, “God you are my healer and I will praise you!” I got up even in pain and stepped out. I must use my faith if I claim Him to be my healer.

When people hurt me I do the same. “God You are more than enough!” I praise my way through. He is enough.

Praise works, as does faith! Don’t be a woose! Harden up and praise!
