Never Give Up

Good afternoon and Thankful Thursday. One of the things I have issues with was anything that had to do with math. I barely got out of high school with low grades in math. Now that I have gone back to college I had to take two courses in math, one College Algebra and the other Statistical Literacy. At first I did not want to try but then I said decided to give it my best. I wound up with a C in the Algebra and a A in the Statistical Literacy. It showed me that as a believer of Christ we should Never Give Up.

We as the people of God have so many things that we can be and do what we want to when we place God first. Some of us want to to movies. Others want to be a successful business person. Many see

their future in a faith based social media platform while there are people who see their future in the educational process. In each of these case as well as others you have to trust God and Never Give Up.

In going to the Word of God for this teaching of Never Give Up I begin in Numbers 14:1-10. In this passage of scriptures there has been resistance by the people of God to go into the land that God had

promised them but Joshua and Caleb had that faith to trust in God. No matter of the crowd wanted to stone them, Joshua and Caleb were not afraid of them or the giants in the promise land. Never Give Up.

In going back to Word of God for this teaching of Never Give Up I go to Jeremiah 1:4-10. In these verses we see where Jeremiah is called as a youth to do the work of God. At first he gives up because

he is so young. But God comes in and places the words in his mouth and has set him over nations and kingdoms. There is nothing to hard for God. Never Give Up.

As we finish the Biblical portion of this teaching of Never Give Up I go to Daniel 1:12-20. In this passage we see where Daniel, Hanaiah, Mishael and Azariah knew that trusting in God would make a

difference in their lives. They refused to conform to what the world had for them and chose to put God first in their lives, even after being taken captive. Never Give Up.

In closing you can do whatever you put your mind to as long as you allow God to be the head of your life. You can run for that government office. You can be that person who makes a difference in the areas of family. You can be that person who makes others look at some of the outdated religious practices. As the men I just wrote about in the Bible did, so can we as we have the serve the same God. Never Give Up.
