This is what God is saying to me today: “Hey, I’m not through with you yet, Buddy. I know you have been through a lot (good and bad), but it’s not time to give up. Take a look at Joshua. So keep going – I’ll let you know what to do in a moment.”
So even though I’m coming up on 65 years old; now is not the time to give up on my dreams. I have a marathon to run, missions to travel, a woman to meet!
I am now thinking back on one of my favorite verses:
For I know the plans I have for you. Plans to prosper you and not harm you; to give you a hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29.11
Prayer: Thank you, LORD, for my devotional reading today. Like Buzz Lightyear says in the movie Toy Story, “Never give up, never give in.” I will never give up on your promises and I will never give in to my fears.
Note: This was written before I ran my first ever marathon which I completed in 5:14:05.
