For the Joy Set Before Us

Think about it! There are phases in spiritual life.
For example, a 4 yr old and a mother coming out of the house. Child is leaping,
running, skipping and the mother walking quietly. We must remember the
Christian life is a life of well doing. It insults God to grumble about
our doings. When you’re weary, think about eternity. Think on the
harvest of your labor.
Remember that most of Christ’s life
here on Earth was humdrum and spent with people who misunderstood Him.
How did He do it without complaining? “For the joy that was set before Him, He
endured the cross, despising the same”
Col 1:24 Paul was willing to
suffer for Christ. He knew one day he would hear “Well done thou good and
faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of Thy Lord”.
Have an attitude of Thanksgiving and
of Praise! It will strengthen you not wear you down. “For in due season we
shall reap if we faith not” You serve a God that cannot fail. A spiritual
harvest is coming. John 4:35-36
