Quit — To Give Up, To Break Your Word, To Refuse To Hang In There

Perseverance and faithfulness are rare qualities. It’s easy to quit — to run away — to say that you’ll hang in there some other day. The Bible talks about people who have “a form of godliness” but are “denying the power thereof.” They are still attending a religious meeting now and then but their heart is far from God. (Matthew 15:8) They have basically quit pursuing His presence and seeking His kingdom (His inner government of their life). (Matthew 6:33)

Don’t quit on God. Refuse to exchange an effectual, fervent faith that continually burns in your heart for occasional religious activities. Passively sitting is quitting.

It’s vital to stay
Surrendered to God —
To yield to Christ’s way
Patiently each day
And not run away.
Discipleship is
More than words you say
Or the way you pray.
It’s persistently
Being Spirit led —
Refusing to stray.
Let Jesus in you
Be more than hearsay.
Make Him your mainstay!
Patiently be Christ’s
Faithful protege.
(Galatians 5:1)
