David Hill: After working a lifetime, some question, was it really worth it? Others may view all their labor as being in vain. The assurance from Jesus is all labor done for Him has value; even a cup of water given in His name counts—registered in heaven. The message to the Christian, “Be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, confident that your labor is not in vain in the Lord (I Corinthians 15:58).” Feels like no one appreciates your work? If done for the right reasons in the Kingdom of God, then rest assured, the Lord knows and appreciates your labor, no matter how great or small. Dear Christian, don’t lose heart; in due season, you’ll receive your reward if you faint not (Galatians 6:9). The Lord knows and will reward on His time. Obey the gospel, work for Jesus. That’s good news. That’s the gospel. Thank you for listening to One Gospel Minute.
