Welcome to the Caruso Daily Devotional , a resource to equip , encourage and challenge you to live a life that shares the good news of Jesus .
Today we're talking about grit and determination , which go a long way in helping find success in life , and they're contagious . Winston Churchill was almost 70 when his country needed him most . When he stared down Hitler's war machine , the British prime minister's signature line was we shall fight on the beaches .
But the essence of his message came with these words we shall go on to the end . Luke 18.1 says then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up . And it is a partnership , because God keeps his word . Philippians 1.6, . He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ .
There's a great practical application in scripture . These old words that are always new were not meant to be just some nice thing to say . God does what he says he will do .
If you feel like you have no way out of your troubles today , tell God that , remember the scriptural promises and remind yourself that countless people have done the same and come out okay on the other side . Don't give up and see what the Lord will do . Let's pray , lord . We give you our fear and our uncertainty .
We can't cope with the situation we're in alone , but we trust you to give us strength not to quit . We believe for the victory over these circumstances , and , god , we find rest in your mercies , in Jesus' name amen .
