Today has been officially dubbed Quitters’ Day. That is because, by the second Friday of January, the majority of people had quit whatever they had resolved to do this year.

Every year, I know dozens of people in the Church I lead commit to reading their Bible. Some have made a 90-day commitment, and others a year-long one. Either way, numerous people want to spend more time reading God’s word.

I hope that you have not quit yet and will not quit anytime soon. One of the things that makes for a mature believer more than intellect is a strength of will. If you genuinely want to grow as a follower of Jesus, the greatest asset you can possess is an iron will that won’t allow you to quit. Like Jacob at the river Jabbock, where he grabbed ahold of an angel and said, “I won’t let go until you bless me,” Christianity is for people who refuse to let go of Jesus.

Some may call it Quitters’ Day, but you are no quitter.
