Don’t Give Up Until It Is Over
Text:
Job 14:14
I watched a penalty shoot-out between
two football teams. The last player in team B, came kicked the ball and it hit
at the cross bar, went up and fell inside the 18 yards box. The boy who played
the penalty held his head mourning. The goalkeeper of the team A left the post;
ran to his teammates and they were rejoicing. The referee kept calm watching
the ball as it was bouncing and rolling inside and 18yards box.
After about a minute, the ball rolled
into the net and the referee blew his whistle to the astonishment of both
teams. The boy that played the ball had thought it was over and the keeper also
thought it was over but they were all surprised because it was not over.
Job was prophetic when
he said he will wait till change will come. Though he had lost all, he was
still hopeful for a change. He was full of assurance that God will restore him
and God did at the end (Job 42:10 – 12).
Many people have lost opportunities
to mount the rostrum for recognition because they gave up at the time they
would have been recognised. Some abandoned their studies because they thought
they can’t make it; some their businesses, craft, calling, etc. It is not over
with you. Therefore don’t give up. We have heard stories of women giving birth
for the first time at over fifty years. Why give up trial and believing God for
your own child? Why give up in that third attempt to secure admission into the
university? As you keep on believing God in this new month, I assure you of
your breakthrough in this new month. Happy New Month!
Food
for Thought:
Don’t give up now. You are closer to success, fulfilment and recognition. Just
take the next step or make another effort.
