But I said, “I’ve worked for nothing.
I’ve nothing to show for a life of hard work.
Nevertheless, I’ll let GOD have the last word.
I’ll let him pronounce his verdict.”
1 CORINTHIANS 15:58 (MSG)
With all this going for us, my dear, dear friends, stand your ground. And don’t hold back. Throw yourselves into the work of the Master, confident that nothing you do for him is a waste of time or effort.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Commit all your time and energy into serving the LORD for nothing directed that way is ever wasted -- regardless of appearances.
PRAYER
God, I'm grateful for the purpose that you have brought into my life. Yet, I feel frustrated when I don't see expected results. I allow myself to wallow in discouragement. Forgive me for focusing more on the desired outcomes than on the joy of serving you. Free me from unrealistic expectations that do nothing more than boost my ego. I'm going to find joy in simple faithfulness. Amen.
