Today: Give up.

You were told that your foolish desires will

destroy you and that you must give up your
old way of life with all its bad habits.
Ephesians 4:22

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make

no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.
Romans 13:14

We don’t like quitting or giving up as men. The

world tells us it means we’re weak. To give up the
sinful, angry life the world tells us we should lead
means we’re less of a man somehow. That we’re
no longer strong enough to be called a man.

Our strength doesn’t come from the world however,

it comes from our Father in heaven. Giving up is hard,
turning in our old “fun” ways is even harder. But the joy
that comes with eternal peace from God far surpasses any
temporary job that we could receive here on earth.

Give up. Give up what isn’t God’s, and leave the enemy behind.

 
Be a quitter.
