God won’t give up on you [December 18,2021 ]
God won’t give up on you
Isaiah 59:1
Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save, neither His ear heavy, that it cannot hear
There are people who are so difficult to convince to surrender their lives to the Lord. This is not usual, there is a story in Acts 26 where the Apostle Paul gives a detailed account of the life and works of Jesus and what it does for us.
After his long speech King Agrippa said….almost thou persuadest me to be a christian ( Acts 26:28). But God never gives up on such people, He finds diverse ways of reaching out to such people until they are saved
The verse from Isaiah confirms that God never gives up on any soul. Do not get discouraged when people do not surrender their lives to Christ after you preach the message of salvation.
God will find ways of playing back your message to them until they are saved
2 Corinthians 4:16
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day
The verse above is another scenario of how God does not give up on us.
Even when our mortal bodies may be wasting away through sickness or aging, God still renews our inner man on a daily basis
God be with you
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Continue to present the message of salvation to as many people as possible. Do not be discouraged by the response you get. Just keep planting the word in faith.
Prayer
Let this be your prayer
My faith looks up to thee
Thou lamb of Calvary
Saviour divine
Now hear me while I pray
Take all my guilt away
Oh let me from this day
Be wholly thine
May thy rich grace inspire
Strength to my fainting heart
My zeal inspire
As thou hast been to me
So may my life also be
Pure, warmand changeless be
A living fire
Amen
