Don’t stop—keep walking!

Many times I’ve wanted to quit. Discouragement has overwhelmed me. I’ve said to myself, what good is it to follow You, Lord? What good is it to serve You?? The Bible says…
“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.” (The Bible, Psalm 1:1-3)

Did you know that in the Word of God, there are many examples of men and women who have gone through this desire to stop and just throw it all out the window? If you’ve ever been there, you’re not alone!

One example is Elijah, the renowned prophet of God! One day, after he received a death threat from the evil Jezebel, he asked God to let him die. I invite you to read 1 Kings 19:2-8

The secret is to not stop—to keep going, to persevere! The angel of God commanded Elijah to eat. And with the strength he received from this divine food, he arose and began to walk again. And what a walk it was! 40 days and 40 nights until he came to the mountain of God.

It has been said, “Press through and you will see.” I believe that you’re at the dawn of a breakthrough, a blessing, a special gift of God for your life!

My friend, don’t stop! And especially not in the path of sinners! Stopping to stand in the path of sinners (even if it’s what the whole world does) leads only to sadness and dissatisfaction.

Even if the road seems narrow, continue walking. You WILL reach your blessing!
