Devotional by Evangelist Tim Green; from Baptist Bread
Hebrews 6:1b & 19 ...let us go on unto perfection... Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
Lots of folks quit way too soon--let's keep on keeping on! Let us go on in spite of the spirit of the age and even our own faults and failures. There is great nobility in getting up and going on after you have been flattened by circumstances and conditions. It is great to have the illuminating attitude of I won't quit! Dr. Tom Malone once said, "If preachers wouldn't quit, U-Haul would go out of business!" I think too, that it would be ridiculous to quit due to others' discouraging displays or outright defections. Let's continue on! So what if resources have dried up, material blessings have been besieged, or physical health decimated--who cares! What you have in Christ, you have in spite of all the diversions and defeats the devil can throw your way. What you have at hand is sufficient for the day. Think about it, all Moses had was a rod. All David had was a sling. All Samson had was an ass' jawbone (think about what he could have done with a 30.06!). Hey, even Paul's thorn became a long-range positive in his life. What you have is what God has supplied you at this point in your life--use it! Let's continue on! Our hope is in the Lord, and He can do with our widow's mites, handfuls of meal in barrels, and poured-out lives.
Remember: "And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure" (I John 3:3).
