[The Glory Unveiled]
“Though we experience every kind of pressure, we’re not crushed. At times we don’t know what to do, but quitting is not an option.” [ 2 Corinthians 4:8 TPT ]
Everyday, we are pressured by the world’s systems and we have learned quickly that the world is not on our side, as believers. Many times, we wonder what we ought to do or not do as the line between the ways of the world and the Word are very thin. So thin that we cannot tell where the difference lies. But in the midst of all these challenges and confusion, we know one thing—no quitting. We cannot quit for any reasons, personal or corporate. You might have been so overwhelmed by the frustrations and pressure of the world to such an extent you want to give up on everything you believed and stood for. But the word of God for us today is not to give up. We are encouraged by the Spirit of God to stand firm, to hope in God, to trust the surety of God’s word, His faithfulness. In every line of work, there is a code of conduct. In our walk with God, our code of conduct is that quitting is not an option. The Lord Jesus portrayed this truth with His life. He came face to face with sin and death; the punishment for our sins. The burden of sin which was the weight of our disobedience and the guilt of our iniquities hanged on him like a dress. In the garden of Gethsemane, he prayed to the Father, to let the cup of suffering pass over Him. But even in the heat of that pressure, He added, not my will but thine be done (Matthew 26:39). He wasn’t giving up on humanity. He wasn’t letting go of His commitment and love for humanity. And so, even with His last breath, He dragged Himself to Golgotha—the transaction place for our redemption. And He did not give up the ghost until He saw to it that the divine Justice was fully met. Jesus did not quit on us. He left us a legacy; a template. That we should not quit no matter the pressure of the world. Even when we don’t know what to do, we will learn, if we don’t quit that God is guiding us all the way until we come into the center of His will for us.
