It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over

How do you feel right now about your life's accomplishments, especially in the spiritual arena? Have you harvested much fruit in your life? Do you feel frustrated? Does it seem to be a season of waiting, of discouragement, of setback, and of little fruit?

Philippians 1:6 (The Message) may be the shot in the arm that you need right now. It says, "There has never been the slightest doubt in my mind that the God who started this great work in you would keep at it and bring it to a flourishing finish on the very day Christ Jesus appears."

Wow! Feel better now? Don't be discouraged if you feel that it seems to be a dry season in your spiritual fruit harvest. Just keep at it. Don't give up. Don't quit. Persevere. Keep going forward. God started a big thing in you, and it ain't over 'til it's over! As long as you keep at it, and don't throw in the towel, God will use you.

Every day you face a choice: to keep going forward, or to quit. Keep going forward. God still has plans to use you, and to bring your life and your work to a "flourishing finish."

Don't give up on God. He hasn't given up on you.
