I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, Always in every
prayer of mine for you all making request with joy, For your fellowship in the
gospel from the first day until now; Being confident of this very thing, that
he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus
Christ: Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you
in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation
of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace. For God is my record, how
greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ. –
Philippians 1.3-8
I
have to admit that in the years of the ministry here there are time when I have
wondered what we are doing here. The work has been though highs and lows. There
have been good times and bad. We have had joys and sorrows, but sometimes it
has seemed like we have done nothing. How in the world am I supposed to keep on
going?
The
truth is none of can just keep on going without the knowledge that God is with
us and that He able to complete the work He started in us. If it were up to us
we would never be able to endure the opposition and trials.
Only
God can complete the task. God will not quit on a work He begins in us. The
only one who can quit is you and me. We can be assured that as long as we keep
going God is going to keep on going with us doing in His work through.
God is
never going to give up on us. Let’s pray that we never give up on Him.
