“I can’t take it.” “I give up.” “I quit.” These are powerful words which, when we act on them, deeply impact others’ lives as well as our own. Here are three key things that could cause us to express such sentiments. First, Satan and his fallen angels’ influence can be a factor in our choice to walk away from God’s plan. A second reason we stop following God’s plan is the influence of our culture. Ungodly people are always ready to give believers advice, and too often we find the world’s methods and “wisdom” attractive. Divine direction is needed if we are to set ourselves apart from nonbelievers’ thinking and yet stay close enough to be able to share God’s viewpoint and message of hope with them. The inclinations of our natural self.......known as “the flesh” (Rom. 8:8).......conflict with our new nature, tempting us to abandon God’s way. Sacrifice isnt comfortable; our innate tendency is to do what feels good and benefits us or those we love. God declares that His grace is sufficient to keep us going in every situation. That means we need never give up. How does this apply to your life today?
