'Your labor is not in vain in the Lord'
Your labor is not in vain in the Lord
"She has done what she could!" Mark 14:8
God is not so limited in His resources of power, that if one of His people fails to do his appointed duty — then His great cause will be defeated. He has large plans, in which the humblest of us have our own allotted place and part.
Even if we do not perform our little piece of work — God's plan will still go on without us, and other hands will do what we refuse to do.
The only effect of our failure in the duty assigned to us, will be in ourselves.
Our own hearts will be hurt by our failure to do our duty, and we shall be set aside, missing the honor and blessing which would have been ours, had we done our part.
"Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord ." 1 Corinthians 15:58
