If you “stick it out” you will receive a promised completion. That motivates me. It keeps me standing (Ephesians 6:13-14). It may take two days, or it may take 20 years, but there’s a promised completion if you stand with faith and patience.
A third reason I believe people quit is because they don’t spend enough time in fellowship with God and His Word. Acts 20:32 states, “And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.”
God and His Word are one and the same, and they’re both able to build you up as you spend time with them. They’ll make you strong and cause you to become established, which will turn you into a person who will never quit.
Become Established…and Flourish!
When you’re tempted to quit, don’t run from God, and don’t run from His Word. Run to them! Once again, they’re able to build you up, strengthen you and cause you to become established, settled, secure, firm and immovable.
Become like the person described in Psalm 112:6-8: “Surely he shall not be moved for ever…his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord. His heart is established, he shall not be afraid.”
When you become strong and established, you become someone who is able to receive everything God has promised. You’ll be able to testify about another blessing that has come into your life, and another victory you have experienced. If you will not quit, then you’ll flourish (Psalm 92:12).
Whenever you find someone abounding in the blessings of God, it’s clear why—they’re strong and established. Their faithfulness stands out. Don’t get upset with them. Don’t become envious or mad at them. Don’t say ugly remarks about them. Instead, follow their example. What He’s done for them, He’ll do for you.
If you won’t quit, and if you’ll remain faithful, then get ready to flourish like never before. Get ready to abound in God’s blessings. That’s what happens to people who refuse to quit. V
