Therefore,
my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of
the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.
1
Corinthians 15:58
Discouragement
is a terrible thing. It creeps up on us
and worms its way into our minds. We get
tired. Maybe we stand in the pulpit week after week
and look out to see ten people, two of whom are asleep or maybe we are a youth
leader and all the kids want to do is play ultimate Frisbee or maybe our spouse
or parents or children are not Christians and ridicule our attempts to talk to
them about Jesus.
In
all this and in spite of this, we have this promise: our toil is not in
vain.
Stay
on task: Keep working for God.
