Never Give up

The Lord says to never give up.  When you stop striving to win you have already given in.  There is a poem that goes like this.  When faced with a mountain, I will not quit.  I will keep on striving until I climb over.  Find a pass through, tunnel underneath.  Or simply stay and turn the mountain into a gold mine with God’s help.  Paul reminds us 2 Cor 2:14 that we will always win or triumph in the Lord.   No mountain that stands in our way can defeat us.  When we apply the grace and power of God to it, it will be removed.  Remember it is not by man’s might, power or anointing that any mountain will be remove it will be through the Lord.  There is a Persian tale about a king who needed a new manager.  He had narrowed it down to two men.  So he gave them a job to do.  They were suppose too drain a well with buckets into a local field.  After a few minutes into the job one of the two men said, “I do not see the value in this, I am going to leave.”  The other man said, “Our job was to drain this well even if we do not see the reason.  We are suppose too do our masters bidding. “  The other man replied, “Well I think this is nonsense.”  With that he dropped the bucket and left.  The servant who stayed worked until he had drain the well.  When he was done he noticed something shiny at the bottom of the well.  It was several gold bars.  He retrieved the gold and got the job of manager.   The lesson we get from here is that no matter how silly something seems when our master tells us to it we do it.  The best thing to do is obey because the reward at the end of the job will many times over compensate what efforts it cost to get the job done.  So never give up, never surrender.  Keep on doing what the Lord tells you.  It is about trust.  Do you trust the Lord?  Paul states it so beautifully.  “Do not grow weary in well doing because in due season you will reap a harvest.
