Don't Get Discouraged | Keep Pressing On

Athletes just don't seem to have the same TENACITY that they once had.  Life has become so automated.  In some ways, life is harder than it used to be, but in many ways, life is so much easier.

We all like things easy, but when things are too easy, it ends up not being good for us.  There are always going to be times in your life and in your career when things get tough, and you are either going to have to give up or you are going to have to do a little pressing.

Pressing means to press against the pressure.  It means that adversity is coming against you, and instead of you just letting it defeat you, you say, 'No way, I know what God's word says, and whatever he told me that I can have, I will have it.  I will not quit and I will not give up.'

As long as you are believing, God is working.  Just because you don't see or feel anything, that does not mean that God is not doing anything.  

Don't get discouraged and throw in the towel.  If you feel like giving up and you need a sign, this is it.  This is the sign telling you, 'Don't give up.  Keep going.  God has a plan for you.'

We are all waiting for something.  Whether it is healing or breakthrough or growth, if you don't quit you will get what you asked for or something much better.

You have to press into things and press through things.  It's a principle that we have to understand.
