5 Minutes a day / 5 Days a week

with God

2 Cor 4:8 (NLT)

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.

Those of you who read these devotionals know that on last Thursday I told you I am going through a time of separation from my wife.
For me, I am crushed emotionally.

We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed and broken.

But since you are reading this, you know I am not broken.
Sure, there are times when I want to say, "I give up. I quite. I can't take this any more." But the Lord is with me always to help me along in those times when I need him the most, and right now those times are continually.

So what is going on in your life right now? Have you given up? Are you ready to just throw in the towel and walk away defeated?
Let me encourage you today not to do such a thing.
If you decide to give up on the Lord you are giving up a great tomorrow. How do I know this? Read what God said to king David after God confronted him about his sin with Bathsheba.

2 Sam 12:8 'I gave you your master's house and your master's wives into your keeping, and gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if that had been too little, I also would have given you much more!

Did you catch that last sentence I also would have given you much more!

There is so much more God wants to do in your life, but He can't if you decide to walk away from Him.

So don't give up and don't be a quitter, We are perplexed, but we don't give up and quit.
But rather lean on the Lord and allow Him to be your strength in time of need. It may last for a while, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and if you walk with Jesus, you can have light going through the tunnel as well!
