When It Gets Tough, Stand in Faith

David said to his son Solomon: “Be strong and brave! Do it! Don’t be afraid and don’t panic! For the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not leave you or abandon you before all the work for the service of the Lord’s temple is finished.
1 Chronicles 28:20

Has this ever happened to you...you've been praying for God to give you a purpose or a calling, or even a job to do, and then right after He shows you, you get all excited and you can't wait to get started. Then when you get started, and it starts to get tough and difficult, you ask yourself or God "what did you get me into?" And then you give up. Yep, right here! I can't tell you how many times God has given me something to do, then I would start it, it would get difficult, then I would say, "well, it must not be God," and then I would quit. Over the years I've missed out on a lot because I stopped and didn't allow God to be God. You see, whenever God gives you something to do, its not based on your abilities, but your willingness to do something. He will do the work through you, He will give you what you need when you need it, such as strength, money, supplies, He will supply them all for you, you and I just need to REMAIN willing and not quit. God is a big God, much bigger than what we give Him credit for, so press on in faith, knowing that He will not abandon you before your work is finished.

Take Away: the next time God gives you something to do, don't give up when it gets tough, but go at it with the confidence that He will do the work through you, give you what you need when you need, and He will see you to the finish!
