So Our Toil Won’t Be In Vain

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.” Acts 15:58

How I want to be steadfast and immovable and ever ready to do the work that God has called me to do but I find that receiving the empowerment from the Holy Spirit to do so takes a new commitment every day. I believe that is exactly as God intended. I often have to pray for strength and passion for that work otherwise I find I waste precious time doing things that have no value in eternity whatsoever. Sometimes I have to just fall on my face and cry out for clear direction and the ability to recognize open doors of opportunity. I want to be steadfast and immovable and ready to please Him today. We won’t toil in vain if we daily seek His direction and His help in recognizing the work He has prepared for us to do.

I want more than anything to be steadfast in my walk with God, steadfast in my pursuit of His calling and absolutely immovable in my faith. Why then, do I waste so much time thinking about what I’m going to do one day instead of just doing it today? I’m not sure I’m ready to have that question answered, so today I will be steadfast and tomorrow I will ask for His help in doing so all over again.
