BUT AS FOR YOU…

2 Chronicles 15:7 NLT But as for you, be strong and courageous, for your work will be rewarded.”

Do you need a word of encouragement today? Then this verse is definitely for you!😊 When we have discouraging news, or things don’t go so well at work or church, or home, or we’re looking at a mountain, we can be tempted to feel downhearted. But God is always in the business of encouraging us and building us up. He wants us to see the end result, not get bogged down on the winding path to get there.

Some things we do for the Lord can take longer than we think and it’s when we’re in the ‘middle’ that our faith can get wobbly or we feel a bit deflated. It’s at those times the Lord sends someone to chivvy us along, or a word to strengthen the weak knees and help us to keep going. 

God is for us, His angels are assigned to minister to us, and we have the Spirit of the Living God on the inside of us, so we can’t fail! Don’t give up, keep going, keep believing for whatever it is God has put in your heart, and don’t quit!

Don’t look at how far you have to go, but look at how far you’ve already come.😊

Apostle Paul reminded us, ‘Don’t grow weary while doing good because we will reap a harvest.’ So don’t listen to any of the discouraging lies of the enemy!

You’re on the winning side, read the back of the Book!😊 Jesus has already won the victory and given it to you and God will bring to completion what He has started in you (Philippians 1:6).

We all have different gifts but we all have the same mission, to bring the kingdom of God close to other people who don’t know God yet. He wants them to hear the Good News that God has forgiven them and He wants to be reconciled to them. 

So be encouraged, be strong and courageous for Jesus, and do whatever it is He has given you to do, knowing your work will be rewarded in due course. Your harvest is on its way. 😊 Amen.
