Have you ever said, “This is too hard.  I can’t do this anymore!”?  Or something similar indicating you were giving up?    I have.  But what happens when you quit something God has chosen you to do?

I read that when Billy Graham started preaching there were two other young men who had been called about the same time.  One of those men was an excellent preacher.  I read he could preach up a storm.  So what were their names?  I don’t remember either.  You think Satan didn’t attack Rev. Graham, and do you think he never got discouraged, or thought for a minute, “Why am I doing this?”   He kept at it because God called him to do a task, and Rev. Billy Graham was not going to stop until his body did, and he knew what would happen if he did, Satan would win.

Are you in a position or place and you know you were there because God put you there?  If so, please don’t stop.  Be encouraged, that you are anointed, for what you are doing, for such a time as this.  (Esther 4:14)  And yes, if you quit, people will get hurt, until God raises up someone else to do what He has already chosen you to do.  So put your big boy pants on, and just do it!
