Topic :Press On! Never Give Up. Pursue Till You Succeed.

Everyone faces hardship, injustice, adversity, sickness, loss of loved ones, failures, ups and downs in life.

Philip 3:14. “I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”

To press toward the mark is, to faithfully continue on the “strait and narrow path which leads to eternal life” with our Savior and our Father in Heaven.

Discouragement because of failures or defeats, or life not up to our expectations can rob peace, joy, contentment and loss of hope, and thereby we many tend to give up in the middle.

But I know people whom I observed who appeared to be in an impossible situation. A few years later, however, to my joy and suprise they were in a terrific place in terms of their circumstances, or their emotions. What could be the reason? They never gave up amidst adversities, difficult challenges and hardship. Instead of sulking in self pity or blaming others for their situation, they chose to come back and believe God and believe in themselves, step out in faith and come out of the emotional self pity.

We see initially Habakkuk, the prophet cried out desperately questioning the Lord Almighty saying, "How long shall I cry and you will not hear? Why do you show me iniquity and cause me to see trouble? Hab. 1 : 2 & 3.

Both, Prayer and hard work are needed to climb the Mount Everest of success, even when we are down and out. When we work hard together with persistent prayers, we can walk into an impossible situation, climb the mountains of challenges and move in confidence in ways mightier than we can imagine.

Do you and I can live in eager expectations of what the Lord will do? Or di we choose to linger in depths of despair, desperation and self pity? It's upto us.

Can we not turn our disappointments, dejection and depression to His appointments and blessings like prophet Habakkuk? In the end, ad we know Habakkuk comes back triumphantly concluding his positive conversation with God in Hab. 3: 17 to 19 saying, "Though the fig tree may not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines; though the labour of the olive may fail, And the fields yield no food, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation."
