Never Give Up on God

Never Give Up on God. This article explores three compelling reasons why we should hold steadfast to our faith and trust in God, even in the face of adversity

by M. Karshna

In the tumultuous journey of life, there are moments when we may find ourselves overwhelmed, burdened by the weight of challenges, or facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles. It is during these times that our faith in God can provide us with the resilience, hope, and guidance we need to persevere. Regardless of the circumstances, we should never give up on God, for in Him lies the boundless power to transform our lives. This article explores three compelling reasons why we should hold steadfast to our faith and trust in God, even in the face of adversity using the Hebrew scripture story of Rahab as an example. Rahab was a Canaanite woman and not originally a follower of Yahweh, but she did not give up on Him to deliver her when the Israelites came to destroy the Canaanite stronghold of Jericho—and it paid off in powerful ways. She made a deal with Israelite spies that if she gave them refuge, Joshua would spare her when they took the city; this deal was made before God, and it came to pass, but Rahab had to have a lot of courage and trust to not give up on God in the process.

Lets Pray

Dear Lord, grant us the wisdom to understand the significance of never giving up on You. Strengthen our faith and fill our hearts with the unwavering conviction that You are always with us. In moments of doubt and despair, help us remember Your eternal love and unfathomable grace. Amen.

Never Give Up on God

Three reasons to Never Give Up on God:

  • God's Unconditional Love
  • Divine Guidance and Purpose
  • Strength and Hope in Adversity

God's Unconditional Love: God's unfailing love is a beacon of hope that shines through the darkest moments of our lives. It surpasses human understanding and transcends our flaws and shortcomings. God's love is constant, unchanging, and unwavering, extending to every corner of our existence. It is a love that knows no limits, no conditions, and no boundaries. In Joshua 6:25, after Jericho had been conquered, “So Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute, with her father’s household and everything that she had; and she has lived among Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers (scouts) whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho” (AMP). In our brokenness, God's love seeks to heal, restore, and transform us. It is a love that never gives up on us, even when we give up on ourselves. Through His unfailing love, we find solace, forgiveness, and redemption. It is a love that stands the test of time, offering us eternal grace and the promise of everlasting life. God's unfailing love is an anchor in the storms of life, providing us with the strength, comfort, and assurance that we are cherished, valued, and deeply loved. These promises came to pass for Rahab because she did not give up on God.


Divine Guidance and Purpose: In times of confusion and uncertainty, our faith in God provides us with a guiding light. He knows the intricacies of our lives and has a plan for each one of us. By surrendering to God's will and seeking His guidance, we align ourselves with a higher purpose. For Rahab, it was world-changing. In Matthew chapter 1, we see in Christ’s genealogy Christ was a descendant of Rahab! God’s wisdom surpasses our understanding, and His plans are far greater than our own. Even in the darkest moments, never giving up on God allows us to discover our true calling and find meaning in our trials. Through His divine guidance, we can overcome obstacles and grow in faith, ultimately fulfilling our purpose on this earth. By not giving up on God, Rahab became a member of the direct line of Jesus, the savior of the world.


Strength and Hope in Adversity: Life is filled with challenges that can leave us feeling powerless and discouraged. Yet, by never giving up on God, we tap into an infinite source of strength and hope. Joshua 2:9, 12-13: “‘and she said to the men, “I know that the Lord has given you the land, and that the terror and dread of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land have melted [in despair] because of you…And now, please swear [an oath] to me by the Lord, since I have shown you kindness, that you also will show kindness to my father’s household (family), and give me a pledge of truth and faithfulness, and spare my father and my mother and my brothers and my sisters, along with everyone who belongs to them, and let us all live’” (AMP). God’s presence in our lives empowers us to face adversity with resilience and courage. He provides solace during times of sorrow, peace amid chaos, and hope in the midst of despair. Through our unwavering faith, we can find solace in God's promises, knowing that He works all things together for our good. Even when the road is difficult, He is our anchor, steadfast and unchanging. When Rahab trusted these spies, she was trusting in God’s promises to her.

In a world that often tests our faith, we must remember that God's love is unyielding, His guidance is unwavering, and His strength is limitless. No matter the circumstances we face, we should never give up on God. By embracing our faith and trusting in His plan, we unlock the transformative power of His love, experience divine guidance, and find strength in the midst of adversity. So, let us hold fast to our unwavering trust in God, for He is our eternal source of hope, peace, and ultimate salvation and His plans for us, like for Rahab, are world-changing.

Lets Pray

Dear Lord, strengthen our resolve to never give up on You. In moments of doubt or weariness, renew our spirits and grant us the endurance to keep moving forward. Help us lean on Your everlasting love and find solace in Your unwavering presence. Amen.
