Don't stop





First of all, I want to say a big thank you to everyone that takes their time to go through the posts from time to time, I really appreciate the support.

 During one of our bible studies in church I came across a bible scripture that really stirred up my spirit in Romans 10:14-17 "But how can people call for help if they don’t know who to trust? And how can they know who to trust if they haven’t heard of the One who can be trusted? And how can they hear if nobody tells them? And how is anyone going to tell them, unless someone is sent to do it? That’s why Scripture exclaims, A sight to take your breath away! Grand processions of people telling all the good things of God! But not everybody is ready for this, ready to see and hear and act. Isaiah asked what we all ask at one time or another: “Does anyone care, God? Is anyone listening and believing a word of it?” The point is: Before you trust, you have to listen. But unless Christ’s Word is preached, there’s nothing to listen to."    

The part that struck me was where it said "and how can they hear if nobody tells them?" , I got to understand that it's important for our world to hear this word of God, and it's our responsibility to share this word of God, to emulate it and live it, to spread it to our friends and even to strangers in whatever way that we can. We can't stop!

It's never going to be easy and I guess that's why the bible called it a spiritual race and not a walk. races are difficult, they require strength, endurance , focus , determination and so is our spiritual race. It can't be a walk in the park, there would be hurdles, challenges, the devil would even try his best to make us slip and fall, and yes! We will fall, BUT we will rise and we will finish our race strong. 

I was encouraged by Romans 10:14-17 and I want to encourage everyone that's reading this, please don't stop! The world needs to hear this message and they can only hear it through us. Our world is in a bad place right now, but the good news is God is always there to renew our hope and our strength, all we need to do is seek his face. Don't let your fire burnout ! Don't stop!
