: Good Morning Peeps,
: “Happy Humpty Hump Day” to you! I hope that
: your work week is going great so far? Have a
: good and very Blessed Wednesday and rest of
: the week.
:
: God Bless You and Yours!

: “What happens to you is not what matters
: most; what happens after that matters more.”

:
: My thoughts today are about, “Too Soon To
: Quit.”
:
: By Pastor Allen Randolph
:
:
: Everyone feels like quitting sometime. If
: you haven’t yet, you will; just don’t quit
: permanently. That’s not negative or
: pessimistic; that’s just reality. Things
: don’t always go well. Things won’t always go
: in your favor. It’s not always what happens
: to you that matters most; usually, it is
: what happens after what happened that
: matters more! Don’t give in to your feelings
: to give up. Dust yourself off, and get ready
: to resume the journey. You will heal.
: Neither your frustration nor your failure is
: final, just inconvenient bumps in the road.
: Wow; that sounds like a lot of clichés. But
: I think that’s good and practical advice.
:
: Do you wish your situation had happened
: differently? Of course you do, but it
: didn’t; deal with the reality. Examine your
: situation honestly but positively. Lay it
: out before the Lord, asking His wisdom and
: direction. Don’t waste the experience; learn
: something useful to help you in the future.
: Resume life quickly; continue forward as
: soon as you feel capable of doing so. Expect
: things to be better not worse. If Paul,
: writing from prison, was able to say “the
: things that have happened to me have
: actually turned out for the furtherance of
: the Gospel” (Philippians 1:12 NKJV), then
: you and I can trust God to rule in the
: events and circumstances of our everyday
: lives.
:
: The Bible puts disappointments, disruption
: of schedules, and minimal inconveniences in
: perspective by comparing your experiences in
: contrast to Jesus’ sacrifice for your
: salvation: “Let us run with perseverance the
: race . . fixing our eyes on Jesus . . who
: endured the cross, scorning its shame . .
: consider Him that endured such opposition
: from sinful men . . so that you will not
: grow weary and lose heart. In your struggle
: against sin, you have not yet resisted to
: the point of shedding your blood.” Hebrews
: 12:1-4 NIV. That clarifies the context for
: times when things don’t go well for you.
: Jesus didn’t quit on you; don’t lose hope in
: Him. I guess my Dad did not support
: quitting. He said, “It is always too soon to
: quit, especially when you feel like it.”
:
: Resisting reality won’t change it. Sitting
: in the midst of a mess will not make
: anything better. Everybody struggles
: occasionally; not everybody quits every
: time. Some people don’t quit anytime! Paul
: describes such fateful moments of decision
: this way, “We are pressed on every side by
: troubles, but we are not crushed and broken.
: We are perplexed, but we don’t give up and
: quit. We are hunted down, but God never
: abandons us. We get knocked down be we get
: up again and keep going . . that the life of
: Jesus may also be seen in our bodies.” 2
: Corinthians 4:8-10 NLT.
:
: Pressured, perplexed, pursued, or punched?
: Whatever your situation right now, you are
: in a good company of overcomers. “To Him who
: overcomes, I will give the right to sit with
: Me on My throne, just as I overcame and sat
: down with My Father on His throne.”
: Revelation 3:21 NIV. Overcome or overcomer?
: I choose the latter for both of us.
:
:
: My prayer for you today is: don’t give up on
: yourself or on God, however tough the
: moment.

:
:
:
:
: For the glory of your name, O Lord, preserve
: my life. Because of your faithfulness, bring
: me out of this distress.
:
: Psalm 143:11 (NLT)
:
:
:
: Today, choose to “Ride or Die” for Jesus
: Christ!
