THINK ABOUT IT           6-3-24

I recently had a thrilling experience. I happened to notice a post on Facebook that mentioned a church in Kentucky that I helped establish years ago ( April 4, 1986), so I contacted the new pastor and was greatly blessed.

After moving to Texas 37 years ago I often wondered how that church was doing or if it still existed. It was a blessing to connect with the pastor and learn that they are doing great, supporting 18 missionaries, and planning to build a new building. I listened to one of the pastor’s messages and I’m convinced that the church is in good hands.

This experience reminded me that our labor in the Lord is not in vain. We know we will be rewarded for our service when we get to heaven, but some great blessings come while we are on earth. Knowing our labor is not in vain is a great encouragement.

Regardless of the nature of your service to God you can rest assured that He will bless your effort in some way. That being the case let us do the best we can, as long as we can, while we can. As Paul said in 1 Cor.15:58 “ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.”- Think about it! – HDS
