"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own
understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make
your paths straight" (Proverbs 3:5-6).
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
And the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When funds are low and debts are high,
And you have to smile, but you want to cry,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if your must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow,
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.
To quit or not to quit? This can sometimes be an extremely difficult
decision . There are times when changing direction, jobs, or our
location is the best thing to do. We may need to quit a destructive
situation.
The important thing is not to quit on a whim. It is just as
important not to wait until the situation becomes too unbearable and
can't be changed.
But how do we know when to stay and when to quit? We should always
commit our situation to God, seek His wisdom, and trust His
decision. Then we know for sure that our decision will be in His
will for us.
Ask God to give you insight to see the reality of the situation .
Once the situation is seen as God sees it, usually you can figure
out what to do. Then prayers for the courage to do it is also
necessary.
God doesn't make our decisions for us. He does not tell us what to
do. What He does promised is wisdom, guidance, direction, and
understanding. God will stand with us as long as we are really
trying to journey and walk in the ways of the Lord.
It is so important that we never quit!
