Endure

Bible Reading:  Matthew 24:12-13

Key Verse: Verse 13 - “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.”

Key Words: endure unto the end


We’ve all felt like quitting at one point or another.  The desire to quit is as much a part of growth as success. For those of us who do not quit, a reward awaits.  Nothing worth having is so easy to obtain.  Everything that has value also has a cost.  That is why so very few reach their God-given goals. Most acknowledge the hard work that is needed but fail to realize just how hard that work will be.  We all know good things take years, even decades, to achieve, but as the years pass by many become discouraged.


We can see the vision.  We can hold onto the dream, but God will give no weighty thing to one who cannot stand under its pressure.  It is the process that makes you who God wants you to become.  There are no shortcuts. But in our weak and frail moments we must find the strength to continue.


Here are ten more reasons you shouldn’t quit:

  • What you are doing now may be positively affecting a life that you may not be aware of
  • You may be just days away from a tremendous breakthrough
  • Everything you do in love will count for eternity
  • Faithfulness pleases God
  • Quitting will undo everything you have worked for up to this point
  • The world is still in need of the gospel 
  • Future generations of your family will reap from your obedience
  • Truth is worth the fight
  • Life is too short to re-take divine tests
  • You are a vital part of the church

Hold this thought captive in your mind: “I will not quit because God has never quit on me!”

What to do:

Don’t quit – be faithful.
