Corinthians 15:56. “So my dear brothers
and sisters, be strong and steady, always enthusiastic about the Lord’s work,
for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.”
Sometimes we feel our efforts
to serve the Lord are insignificant. It
is easy to become despondent and allow negative and selfish thoughts to
overtake us. We may be experiencing a
time when our production of fruit is meager and we wonder if we are even
capable of any type of ministry that furthers the Kingdom of God
Paul is telling us to always
be strong in our efforts. To be steady
or consistent, don’t quit or give up and always be enthusiastic in our
efforts. Whether we make muffins for someone,
give to the Lord monetarily, visit the sick or lonely or take a moment to
comfort a small hurting child, whatever we do to honour the Lord will never be
wasted or useless. Never give up because God sees what is done in his name even
if no one else knows about it or sees it, no matter how great or how small, our
work for the lord is never in vain.
Prayer for
today: Heavenly Father, I am so thankful
for the promises in your Word. Forgive me for being discouraged, when I know
everything is in your hands and all things work together for good because I
love you. I am so glad you see what I do
for you even if no one else does. Help
me to continue to do good for others and thank you for loving me just as I
am. In Jesus name, Amen.
