Promises Of GodSample

Your Work Is Not In Vain

Paul is encouraging the early church believers in Corinth to stand firm in the faith because something greater is coming. Christ will one day return for His children, and the struggle against sin and death will be over forever. Keeping the hope of heaven in view helps Christ followers stay faithful and persevere.  

Every ounce of effort you put forth in God’s name is making a deposit in eternity. Don’t let the enemy of your soul discourage you and cloud your thinking with doubt. All those who have placed their faith in Christ will experience fullness of joy in His presence one glorious day very soon. Until then, it’s our job to stay steadfast and to shine brightly in this dark world. 

Father help me to stay steadfast, immovable, and always abounding in what pleases You. May the hope of heaven fill my heart today. Amen.
