.......stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourself fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58).
Sometimes it seems like the work we do in ministry results in nothing more than blisters, sore muscles, hurt feelings or offense taken, but Scripture tells us that when we labor for the Lord, there is no wasted effort and seeds for future blessings have been planted. It doesn't matter whether our ministry work is done in a public arena for many to hear and see, or whether we toil in the shadows where there is no audience, know that God is watching, applauding our effort and appreciating what has been done in His Name.
A lot of people do a lot of things every day in service to God and His people. Every task can have eternal significance. We never know how our efforts are impacting others, but when we seek to be obedient to the call God has placed on us, we can rest assured that God will use our effort to further His vision for all of us. Whether we are physically tired, emotionally tired or just tired, we must never become spiritually tired. There is always something to be done, a mission to undertake and a seed to be planted. God will restore our strength, sooth our sore muscles or wounded ego, and get us up and about for the new day and the new opportunities ahead. There is no job too big or too small where someone will not be impacted by what has been done. Stay the course, stand firm and let nothing move you from the task at hand. All for the Glory of God.
