Don’t Quit Fighting The Good Fight!

Don’t Quit Without Giving It Your Best Shot!

My mother, coaches, teachers, and others often told me not to quit. But I can recall twice in my life when I wanted to stop living because of all the pain I was experiencing. The first was in high school, and the second was when my wife divorced me.  But I thank God for putting outstanding people in my life to encourage me and point me back to the Lord.

I Mention This Because We All Have Hit A Wall In Our Lives!

You, too, can overcome it with God’s help, as I did. Whatever you do, do not quit! Think of it this way: your doubts will starve when you feed your faith. When you feed your doubts, your confidence will starve. It is up to you what you choose to do. I used to tell my kids, Chris and Sherry, that when they were going through a challenging time growing up, “40 pounds of pain often can give you 400 pounds of gain!“

Do Not Become Discouraged Because Of Your Circumstances!

Keep Pushing On…Don’t Quit! Rest If You Must, But Don’t Quit!

What Has God Promised?

Rest If You Must, But Do Not Quit!

God hath not promised skies always blue,
Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through;
God hath not promised sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow, peace without pain.

But God hath promised strength for the day,
Rest for the labor, light for the way,
Grace for the trials, help from above,
Unfailing sympathy, undying love.

God hath not promised we shall not know
Toil and temptation, trouble and woe;
He hath not told us we shall not bear
Many a burden, many a care.

God hath not promised smooth roads and wide,
Swift, easy travel, needing no guide;
Never a mountain rocky and steep,
Never a river turbid and deep.

A Little Bit About The Don’t Quit Poem!

The poem below, “Do Not Quit,” has been inspirational since my twenties. I am now in my fifties and still love it. I love it so much that I even put it on my evangelistic business cards to pass out to people. The words are real and can speak to every reader at some point! 

When this poem talks about not quitting, I hope people take it more seriously in marriage, friendships, jobs, and other commitments. We must focus on those three simple words, “Do not quit.”

As coach Bear Bryant once said, “Never quit. It is the easiest cop-out in the world. Set a goal, and don’t quit until you attain it. When you attain it, set another goal, and don’t quit until you reach it. Never quit.”

The Don’t Quit Poem:

“When things go wrong, as they sometimes will when the road you’re trudging seems all uphill. When funds are low, and the debts are high, you want to smile, but you have to sigh; when care is pressing you down a bit, rest if you must, but do not quit.

Life is strange with its twists and turns, as every one of us sometimes learns, and many a failure would turn about when you might have won if you had stuck it out. So don’t give up. Though the pace seems slow, you may succeed with another blow.

Success is failure turned inside out, The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, and you never can tell how close you are; it may be near when it seems afar, So stick to the fight when you’re the hardest hit; it’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.”

Rest If You Must, But Don’t Quit! But if you fall, fall forward!.

Find Courage

(This section is from The Book I wrote)

Lord, it has been said that only the strong survive. That is only true if we get our strength from you, Lord. That is what counts, not the courage that I can muster up on my own. I keep my head level and eyes focused on you in difficult times. You help me find the encouragement and strength I need in you, not in my power.

The world can be frightening.  We consistently hear about horrific things in the local news, in the newspaper, on the radio, and on the internet. It helps to know that you are in control, even when things go wrong or life seems unfair.

As your word says in 2 Timothy 1:7, you have not given me a spirit of fear; you have given me a spirit of power, love, and self-discipline. Please help me lean on you to gain the courage and strength I need each day and to set aside any fear that may arise.

Joshua 1:9 ~ The LORD said, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged; for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. ~ Nelson Mandela, South African anti-apartheid revolutionary political leader and former President of South Africa.

Rest If You Must, But Don’t Quit! Never, Never Quit!

Some Specific Scriptures To Encourage You:

Philippians 4:13 ESV

I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

1 Corinthians 10:13 ESV 

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation, he will also provide a way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

James 1:12 ESV 

Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.

Hebrews 12:1 ESV 

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.
