DON’T
QUIT - JUST TRY AGAIN!
by Pastor
Max Solbrekken
This life doesn’t offer many free
lunches or instant successes. Our sojourn on Planet Earth is
mostly a series of trials, errors and hard work.
Often success only comes on the heels of
disappointment and failure. We live in a real world, with
very few born into instant money, privilege and position.
For most of us, it’s a day-to-day ‘bump
and grind’ existence, with only a minuscule chance of
winning a Lotto 649 and living the fantasy life projected on
TV commercials.
But hard work has never hurt anyone and a
little strain, stress and sweat is really quite healthy.
The old adage, “If at first you don’t
succeed, try, try, try again”, is good advice indeed.
Abraham Lincoln ran for public office
several times and was defeated. He did not give up and
finally was elected President of the US and became renowned
as one of America’s greatest leaders.
Theologian Dr. Kenneth Taylor sought in
vain for a publisher to print his new paraphrase of the Holy
Bible. He organized Tyndale House Publishers and has sold
more than 35 million copies of the Living Bible.
Science fiction writer Frank Herbert who
authored the galactic epic Dune was turned down by 20
publishers before his manuscript was finally accepted. His
book has sold more than 12 million copies.
If we turn our mistakes and failures into
stepping stones rather than stumbling blocks, the
experiences we go through are reversed from negative to
positive.
But if we take the low road of
complaining, sulking and blaming people, it becomes a
long-term aggravation that eats like a canker.
The Bible says, “As a man thinketh in
his heart, so is he”. Here’s a poem that reinforces that
truth.
ALL IN THE STATE OF MIND
If you think you’re beaten, you are;
If you think you dare, you don’t.
If you’d like to win, but you think you can’t,
It’s almost a cinch you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost,
For out in the world you find,
Success begins with a fellow’s thoughts,
It’s all in the state of mind.
If you think you’re outclassed,
you are;
You’ve got to think high to rise.
You’ve got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man;
But soon or later the man who wins
Is the fellow who thinks he can.
St. Paul stated emphatically: “I can
do all things through Christ, which strengthens me”.
(Phil. 4:13)
And Jesus said: “All things are
possible to him that believes”. (Mark 9:23) “And
Jesus looking upon them saith, With me it is impossible, but
not with God: for with God all things are possible.” (Mark
10:27)
We must come to God, in simple faith,
believing that Christ’s victory over Satan, death and Hell
has purchased our freedom.
The Bible says, “Forasmuch then as the
children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself
likewise took part of the same; that through death He might
destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil”.
(Heb. 2:14)
Jesus said: “Ask, and it shall be
given you; seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be
opened unto you: For everyone that asks receives; and he
that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened”.
(Matt. 7:7-8)
Here are four things that most people are
concerned about!
PEACE OF MIND: This comes through the
knowledge of salvation, with the forgiveness of sins and the
removing of guilt. Jesus said: “My peace I give unto you”.
(John 14:27; Rom. 5:1; 8:1)
PROTECTION OF ONE’S HOME & FAMILY:
The Bible says: “There shall no evil befall you and no
plague shall come nigh unto your dwelling”. (Ps.
91:10) The angels of God protect His people. “Many are the
afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him
out of them all.” (Ps. 34:19)
SECURITY FOR ONE’S JOB - The Bible
tells us not to be concerned about tomorrow for He shall
bless us with abundance. If we put Him first, He has
promised to prosper and bless the work of our hands. (Matt.
6:33; Luke 6:38)
CONTINUED GOOD HEALTH - When Jesus died
on the cross, He purchased our healing, for the Bible
states: “He was wounded for our transgressions ...and
with His stripes we are healed”. (Isa. 53:4-5)
“When the even was come, they brought
unto Him many that were possessed with devils: and He cast
out the spirits with His Word, and healed all that were
sick: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias
the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and
bare our sicknesses.” (Matt. 8:16-27)
The key is in not giving up. We must ask
in prayer for our need, seek His Word for an answer and keep
knocking till we receive. That’s real faith! Bible
