The Work is Worth it!

Reading of the Day 5/8/25: 2 Chronicles 15-17

2 Chronicles 15:7: Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.

If king Asa needed to hear this during his time, then we sure do as well! It is so amazing how God speaks directly into our lives right when we need it...and He uses His living Word, even though it was written thousands of years ago! His Word always speaks. And this Scripture is a Word I have definitely needed! With all the time & attention that needs to be poured into many things, sometimes all at once, it is easy to shut down & feel overwhelmed. It is easier to do nothing than to do a little something more, because we think, "What's the point, that little bit more won't make a difference." But the Truth is, it will! We can't forget that even baby steps matter. That's why we must stay strong! We can't release our hands from the work just yet! We can't give up! Our work SHALL be rewarded! We can't just stay focused on the task without reminding ourselves that there is something waiting on the other side. As a Mom, the work invested shows over time. Some things happen quickly, while others are grown into. This Scripture is truly a help to me in this season! I love it so much, even though there are many points of weakness, failure, struggle, and sorrow. Consistency in the peace of God is difficult through life's ups & downs, but the work is well worth it! If we hold onto God, His Word holds us! There will be a reward! There will be joy, peace, love, stability, growth, and many more things ahead if we just stay faithful, as He always is to us!
