Keep Moving!

There are times in life, for all of us, when it seems the ride is over. “Stinkin thinkin” takes over: “What’s the use… I can’t… Might as well quit… It’s over…” Sometimes it comes from us, sometimes from others.

During the Habitat ride this past week, one man who watched me struggle up a hill midway through the ride suggested that I ride in a support vehicle for a while. I am so glad I did not listen to him. It would have robbed me of the joy and success of finishing on my own.

Maybe you're tempted to give up today. But God is grabbing your attention to say, “Don't become weary in doing good . . . the harvest you've hoped for is coming.” (See Galatians 6:9.) He doesn’t want you to miss a great victory!

Too often we assume what the end will be while we are still in the middle of the ride. That's when we start leaning on our own understanding instead of trusting in the Lord with all our heart and we stop moving.

Don’t give up in the middle of the ride. The Lord has a way of giving strength to the weary, and He is never late. Keep moving!
