Don't Give Up

Isaiah 3:10 NIV "Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds."

Listen up believers ... keep on believing!!!!

Righteous does not mean you're doing perfect and doing everything right, but what it does means is that you are Right-Standing with God! How do you get right-standing with God? Through Jesus Christ alone. Salvation in Jesus name!

Now that we have been saved through Jesus Christ we have become the Righteousness of God (2 Corinthians 5:21). In other words we are Gods workmanship, created to do GREAT works! (Ephesians 2:10)

We need to keep on doing great works. We're not saved by any means from doing these works, but it reflects our salvation. That a God who loved us, saved us, and helped us turn from living for ourselves, but now live to serve Him and in doing so serving His people! So lets keep on serving.

Isaiah has a message for the righteous! "Tell the righteous it will be well with them" Do you hear that? It will be well with you! We can't give up! We are that close from enjoying the fruit of our deeds.

Your labor for the Kingdom of God is not in vain! God knows what you've been doing to bring glory to His name! Sure there has been times where you've questioned your motives and didn't feel that you were making a difference. But He knows! You have been making a difference far beyond what you know.

Your life matters! The things you chose to do matter! The deeds you've done have mattered! Don't give up! You can't give up! You're that close to the enjoyment of all you've done!

There's nothing like working a hard week knowing that a vacation is right around the corner. When you realize there is an end and you see it a little more closer it pushes you to finish hard.

The London Olympics have just ended and I remember watching the long distant runners going on their race for 6miles! Pacing themselves the whole way, but once that last lap came, that last straight away, and a view of that finish line; then came a new rush to finish strong to win that Gold! Finish strong it will be worth it!

Righteous One of God you are important. You are important to God and His people! Don't give up in doing good. Sure being bad comes naturally, but in the end its not worth it. Making the choice to live for God, live right, and doing good even though it is hard will all be worth it as we enjoy the fruit of our deeds.

Don't Give Up!
