You're So Close, Don't Give Up!

I heard a story about how back in the 1800’s some explorers were going across a huge desert and didn’t bring enough water. They started digging at different spots underneath the surface about a foot or two trying to find water. They ended up dying in the desert because of a lack of water. Many years later it was discovered that there was water right there where they had lost their lives, about three feet underground. If they would have just dug down a little bit further they would have found the water and saved their lives.

The same principle is true when you’re going through a difficult time, when you don’t think your finances will ever improve or you’re struggling in a relationship. It’s easy to think, “This is never going to change. I’m never going to be truly happy.” No, just like those early explorers, provision is there. You just have to dig down a little bit deeper.

In Galatians it says, “At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.” If you will shake off the self-pity, shake off the negative voices and begin declaring positive changes, start doing everything you possibly can in your power to turn it around, God will meet you at your level of effort and you will reap the full blessing and provision God has prepared for you!
