Don't Give Up

A woman told the story on herself of the rainy day when she was stopped in the Yield lane trying to get onto I-4 in busy downtown Orlando. She heard a tap on her window and rolled it down. An angry man yelled, “For crying out loud lady, the sign says ‘Yield” not give up.”

We all have had experiences where we seem to lose hope of making it through the rainy days in our lives. While we may well have to Yield to the unavoidable circumstances of life, we never have to give up.

The Apostle Paul told his friends that he had learned he could do all things through the power of Jesus that strengthen him from within. And, Jesus said we would be amazed at the things we can do through faith, even faith as tiny as a mustard seed.

Maybe today is a good day to thank God for the faith that is helping you through life when things are going well and also to ask God to strengthen your faith when the difficult days of life come.
