'Keep Holding On'

Philippians 3:16
But we must hold on to the progress we have already made.

Sometimes you will face situations that are bigger than you are, making you feel as if you have no answers or resources to continue on.  Everything in you says, "Give up!" But don't do it.
     Friend, you're in the midst of a faith test.  God isn't punishing you and He hasn't forgotten you.  Rather, He is providing an opportunity for you to grow spiritually and believe Him for greater things.
     So make a decision to believe the Lord in spite of everything. Don't look at your circumstances or pay attention to the opinions of others.  Listen to the Father.
     Open God's Word and trust what He says.  He is teaching you that Jesus really is sufficient for every need you have.  There's no challenge too overwhelming or pit too deep---He can always deliver you.  So expect Him to prove Himself faithful in this difficulty. --- Charles Stanley

What a great word!! I can't take credit for that one, that was all written by Charles Stanley and it is so TRUE!! I love where it says, 'Jesus really is sufficient for every need', get a hold of that and put it in your spirit.  Because the fact of the matter is JESUS truly is ENOUGH!  He paid a high price for us and He knows every circumstance we face and trial we walk through and storm that rages against us and He is the Lion and the Lamb who can face our circumstance and He is the peacemaker who can give us peace in our trials and He can sure calm the storm!! He is the same God we read in the Bible still today!! Don't throw in the towel, we are so close to the finish line and we need to continue to persevere now more than ever.  Hold on to His right hand.  I love the scripture that says, Because you are my helper, I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings.  I cling to you; your strong right hand holds me securely. Psalm 63.7  Thank you JESUS!!  Get in the Word and be reminded of just how mighty He really is!  Nothing is IMPOSSIBLE with GOD!
