Don't Give Up, Don't Give In

Don't Give Up, Don't Give In


Rest assured that God is not ashamed to be called our God when we seek Him diligently. When we press to be holy and righteous, good and faithful, though we are plagued by pitfalls, opposition and ridicule, shame and disgrace, failure and disappointment, dreams and visions that fade away, God is not ashamed to be called our God.

We have the choice of turning back because we have the memories of the past, but the past is dead and darkness. We know now that satan controlled us when we were without Christ, so going back means that we will give the devil place in our lives. It's God we seek not what He can give us. Mary did not have all the knowledge that the Scribes and Pharisees had of the scriptures, but she knew the voice of our Lord when He called her name, she sought after Him not what He could give, this beloved is love. Of such people God is not ashamed to be called their God.

What temptation are you faced with today, what trouble or distress, fear or doubt, what opposition or barrenness wearies you ? Do you love God ? Is He the central focus of your life ? Do you calculate everything with Him as the principal factor?Then keep on hoping and don't give up and don't give in. In your present state because your intent is to give God your best, God is not ashamed to be called your God.

Rejoice and be glad for God the living God who was manifested in the person of Jesus Christ, is not ashamed to be called your God.

Hebrews 11:8-16 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God. By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised. Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude—innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore. These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland. And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.

In Christ,
