DAILY VITAMIN

- Hold Your Ground

"Do not, therefore, fling away your [fearless] confidence, for it has a glorious and great reward. For you have need of patient endurance [to bear up under difficult circumstances without compromising], so that when you have carried out the will of God, you may receive and enjoy to the full what is promised." (Hebrews 10:35-36 AMP)

The Bible tells us in Exodus that as soon as the people of Israel lost sight of the symbol of the deliverance-Moses, they drew back unto perdition. They began to flirt with the devil and completely lost their way. It was so bad that even their leaders slipped unto this path as well (Exodus 32:1-6). And that's exactly how a lot of us are. We draw back when we can't see the signs anymore. We are like those who stop Believing as soon as the signs wane off; forgetting that it is not the signs that delivers us, but the God that creates the signs.

For instance, perhaps you are believing God for the fruit of the womb, and after years of waiting you decide to completely give up on God and seek other ungodly options. But realize today that that won't help you. It didn't help Israel, it won't help you. At first they thought celebration had come, but before they knew it, destruction followed. So be wise and stick to the Lord.

Remember, we are not of them that draw back, but of them who stay believing (Hebrew 10:39). Choose to trust God enough to believe He will come through for you. Keep going on for Him; don't give up. Don't let anything impede you from loving Him still. You may have waited a long while, but don't forget, there is an appointed time for you (Habakkuk 2:3). Abraham patiently trusted God and he was blessed for it (Hebrew 6:15). Hold your ground; He will bless you too in due time. 

Hence, He says, "Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth." (Psalm 46:10)
