Don't Quit - Your Breakthrough is Coming
Isaiah 40:28-31 (NLT)
28 Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding.
29 He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless.
30 Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion.
31 But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.
Galatians 6:9 (NLT)
9 So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.
The tragedy of Israel's story is that most quit just before their breakthrough. They were so close to the Promised Land but chose to go back to Egypt in their hearts. Don't let a bad case of "if only" steal your destiny. If only I'd chosen differently. If only God had answered faster. Stop second-guessing God's plan. The same God who brought you out will bring you through. Your promised land might be right around the corner. Joshua marched around Jericho seven days before the walls fell—God was teaching persistence, not punishment. Keep praying, keep believing, keep moving forward. Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. The long way with God is better than any shortcut without Him. Don't quit in the roundabout. Your wilderness is not permanent, but the character you develop there is. Keep walking. Keep trusting. Keep praising. Victory is closer than you think.
