If You Don't Quit, God Won't Quit - Part II
Absalom was trying to usurp David, and the people had thrown in their lot with him, and David could have feared for his life. Instead, he cried to the Lord during this time of distress, to the point where he could lay down his head, rest peacefully, and know that His God was going to see him through. There is an excellent lesson for us—if we love the Lord and put our complete trust in Him, there is nothing that can be done unless God allows or causes it. God will not allow anything to come upon us that would harm us in any way. There might be things that would be negative that would come upon us, but when we understand that everything that happens to us is either allowed or caused by the Lord, then whatever happens, it is all for our good. It doesn't matter what forces Satan brings against you. The powers available to the Lord are far greater than those of Satan. We must learn to trust Him in all things and that everything that He allows will ultimately be for our good.
David claimed his victory by faith as if it had already been done. This is remarkable and should be understood by all believers. Faith can declare victory even before it has ever happened. Jesus Christ has won it through what He did for us at Calvary's cross, and we are to believe that His victory is now our victory. It has already been done, and we can believe Him that the victory is ours. Yes, even amid failure, we can still declare, by faith, that we are victorious through the blood of Jesus Christ. We can claim that sin will not have dominion over us, for we depend not upon our flesh and strength but upon the Holy Spirit who works through the finished work of Christ.
If you, as a believer will fully trust the Lord, precisely as David did, God can take whatever is and have nothing but good left. It might take some time, but we are much better off trusting Him through the trial than giving up and quitting. The worst thing that a believer can do is quit, give up, or throw in the towel. The very day you quit may be when you’re your blessing was right around the corner. When you quit, you're saying that God cannot meet your need, and you're better off trying to do this alone. God can never bless quitters. Remember that. God can never bless quitters. It's something that He cannot deal with or tolerate. But as long as you continue to believe, trust, and depend upon Christ, He will bring you through. In other words, if you don't quit, no matter how bad the situation may be, God won't quit. He is faithful to bring us through, and whatever Satan meant for evil, God will turn it around for our good.
