I Corinthians 15:57,58, “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.”
What great verses of instruction for the Christian. Every word of these verses has a message for us.
- Thank God,
- Be Stedfast, Unmoveable, (don’t budge from what you believe)
- Abound, (do lots and lots for the Lord)
- Work, (put effort and determination into your service for God.)
Do you ever get tired? Giving up, looms on the horizon. The ‘keep on, keeping on’ part of life just seems too hard. (Been there, done that.) But, praise God, He knew this would happen in most of our lives and these verses in His Word are an encouragement to us – a pep talk, so to speak.
Follow through on all of these admonitions from the Lord. We have the promise of worthwhile results in the end. All of your labour and hard work will not go unnoticed. Even though it often seems discouraging because of lack of visible results, we know that God is working.
Remember that it is God that gives the victory. He is the one that is in charge of the results of our labours. Our job is to do the work He has called us to do and leave the rest to Him.
Everything we do for God is not for nought. We need to – keep on, keeping on – because victory is promised in the end!
