         And let us not be weary in well doing: for the in due season we shall reap, if we faint not (Gal.6:9).

         1. You'd better stick it out until you know God wants you to leave a job and you know He's finished with you there and He's got something else He wants you to do.
         2. It's von ting yust to shtick!
         3. One thing that's going to keep you going is to know that it's not going to be much longer!
         4. There's just no limit to what God can do through you if you'll just stick to it!
         5. Never stop anything fruitful that God is blessing!
         6. Don't ever leave a job unless God gives you another one.
         7. When you make a deal with God, you had better stick to it no matter what!
         8. The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one often comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won't.
         9. Winners never quit, but quitters never win!
         10. If you start something and don't finish it when it's going strong, it's virtually impossible to get it going again.
         11. You shouldn't start another attack until you've finished the first one.
         12. "Shtick it out!" till angels shout!
         And God's rewards are given out!
         13. Consider the postage stamp: Its usefulness consists in the ability to stick to one thing till it gets there.
         14. You cannot begin a job for the Lord unless you finish it, or the whole thing will be a failure!
         15. Turning you back on the job God has given you is just as bad in God's sight as turning your back on Him!
         16. Your Home should try to stay put as long as the Lord is blessing and providing you needs and protecting you from too much persecution, and as long as you can publish the Message, bear fruit, and establish the believers.
         17. Stick around a little while to get real results--genuine disciples, whom you can either take with you or teach to carry on.
         18. A diamond is a piece of coal that stuck to its job.
         19. Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.
         20. It is dangerous to quit the job God has given you!
         21. Help us, Lord, to know it's one thing just to stick to the task that You have given us, determined not to quit, but to go on whether we succeed or fail, to stay put in the job You've given us until You tell us it's time to go.
         22. Don't quit too soon! Don't flunk out by running out just before God's school bell rings and He's about to promote you to another grade! Don't run away from your school of Laban just before you begin to inherit the Promises! (Gen.29)
