Never Give In

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 15:58

Never give in!

The testing of your faith is more precious than gold…Now is the time to fight the good fight of faith.

Never give in!

You are not alone in your trials and temptations…He is with you and will make a way of escape.

Never give in!

Someone is praying…Jesus is before the Mercy Seat making intercession on your behalf.

Never give in!

Heaven’s resources are yours…He will make all grace abound toward you.

Never give in!

You can live beyond yourself…God’s strength is made perfect in weakness.

Never give in!

The power of God is almighty…Greater is He that is within you than he that is in the world.

Never give in!

The hard times will not last forever…Nothing can compare to what God has prepared for you.

Proverbs 31:9

Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy. —

"No room in the inn!" "Placed him in a manger!" So often we play favorites with the rich, beautiful, powerful, and prestigous. Isn't it interesting that God revealed himself as the defender of the widow, the orphan, and the alien and then entered the world as the child of a Jewish carpenter and a young virgin from a small town.

God wants us to notice those in need around us. He wants it to be more than an annual good gesture at Christmas. He wants us to be advocates for the folks like Joseph, Mary, and Jesus. We're not just told to be fair; we're told to defend and to plead the rights of those in need. When we do, we do it for him (see Matthew 23).
