When God gives you a dream, you can be sure you'll run into delays, difficulties, detours and dead ends along the way. They are a natural part of life. But you can be ready for them. Now if anybody h
ad a right to be
discouraged, it was Noah. Do you know how long it took Noah to build the
ark? 120 years! Could you go 120 years on a project without one word of
encouragement from anybody else in society?
Noah trusted God. And when he heard God's warning about the future, Noah believed Him even though there was no sign of a flood. I bet there were many days that Noah didn't feel like going to work, but for 43,800 days, he went to the same place and he worked. He never gave up.
Don't give up on your dream either. Don't give up on the marriage. Don't give up on your health. Don't, don't, don't give up. God is in control! You haven't read the final chapter of your life. God's already written it, but you haven't read it yet. The Bible says, "God is always on the alert, constantly on the lookout for people who are totally committed to Him." God is looking for people that He can bless. I want you to be one of those people.
Don't give up!
