It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. Have you ever endured so much pain until you felt like throwing in the towel? Have you ever felt overwhelmed by life’s problems? How do you handle these situations in your life? Do you rely on prayer or pills? The Almighty or alcohol? Worship or worrying? So often in our life we waste so much time stressing over past mistakes and future plans. We never maximize the current opportunities God has blessed us with. We wake up worrying about what we did not do yesterday. We spend the entire day worrying about the next day. Have you been there? Are you there now?
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. I know times get difficult. I understand friendships and finances can experience dry seasons. My friend, Hang In There! God is not through with you yet. If you quit now, you will miss out on the best years of your life. Things can get better. Things will get better. You must not surrender to the enemy. If you are honest with yourself, you are living better than anyone in your bloodline. Because of the Lord, you have received and obtained more than you expected in life. The Bible declares in Psalms 27:14 – Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. Hang In There! Give no place to depression and anxiety. God knows what you are in need of. Do not waver. Stand on His Word. The Bible declares in Isaiah 40:31 – But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
My brother, my sister, Hang In There! The Bible declares in Ecclesiastes 9:11 – … that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. Your season of abundance is in front of you. You must develop a spirit of determination. You must be willing to fight for it. Friends may betray you, Hang In There! Family may question you, Hang In There! Your faithfulness may experience mocking, Hang In There! Your body may feel feeble and weak, Hang In There! Your job may seem uncertain, Hang In There! Your marriage may be rocky at this time, Hang In There! Thought to Remember: If you can believe it, God can definitely do it!
