But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. 1 Corinthians 15:57-58
Paul says that because of the Resurrection, nothing we do is in vain. Sometimes we hesitate to do good, because we don't see any results. But if we can maintain a heavenly perspective, we will understand that we often will not see the good that results from our efforts. If we truly believe that Christ has won the ultimate victory, that fact must affect the way we live right now. Don't let discouragement over an apparent lack of results keep you from working. Do the good that you have the opportunity to do, knowing that your work is having eternal results. God bless you, J.H.
Hmmm, the same as our family devotion tonight. Ever get the feeling that maybe God is trying to tell me something?
ReplyDeleteYes, when things repeat and keep showing up, I think he is telling us something.....just hard to figure out what sometimes!
