Your work will be rewarded But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded. ( 2 Chronicles 15:7) Are you planning to give up? Are you fed up by all the problems that you are facing these days? God says, "Be strong and do not give up." Are you not paid enough for all the work that you do? Do others torment you by their offensive behavior and words? Jesus says, "Do not give up" "Your work will be rewarded." You have been kind, you have been generous; in return you have been hated and despised. You may be at your wit's end. You may be saying, "I give up" "I give up". Jesus says, "Not yet" "Not yet" The writer of Hebrews says, "We do not want you to become lazy, but to initiate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised." (Hebrews 6:12) Look into the Word of God and you will find so many examples of how God exalted those who trusted in him and were patient despite their trying circumstances. Joseph, David, Elisha and others had a long wait to inherit what had been promised to them but they finally did get their reward. Joseph became the Prime Minister of Egypt, David became the King of Israel and Elisha received a double portion of the Holy Spirit power that he asked God for. So don't give up. God will change your circumstances in your favor soon. Don't give up! Not yet! |
