Title: "Always Work Enthusiastically" Mentor: Paul
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:58 "So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless."
Observe: Paul was saying that in context, because we are raised from the dead and live eternally our work for Jesus is not wasted. Because of this fact we can be enthusiastic, contrast with joyless and having no energy. We can be strong, contrast with weak. We can be immovable, contrast with always shifting positions.
Apply: I need to see that EVERYTHING I do for Jesus counts and will last forever. This will give me energy, joy, strength and the ability not to move.
Prayer: Jesus, I am tired this morning. I would like to quit, but because your work is for eternity I cannot. Nothing I do for you is wasted. Help me to see that today. When I am giving myself to something temporal, remind me of this passage. In Jesus name, Amen
