We Must Go On
July 16, 2026
Daily Reading—Neh. 11-12 Acts 15:28-41
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
I remember a phrase growing up that went, “Quitters never win, and winners never quit.” This phrase has been one that haunts me whenever I want to give up. Most people want to quit when things get hard. When trials come, we just do not want to take it anymore.
Paul went back to the frightened people of the churches that he helped to begin and told them, “we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.” Simply put, I know it is hard, but do not give up. Even better, God says in Hebrews 13:5, “… I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” What joy to know that through our darkest hours and hardest trials, God is by our side
WHAT WILL YOU DO:
Will you trust God’s promise of His presence to help you go on?
