Hard Work! Is this motion still pertinent today?

Well, perhaps or perhaps not. However, if I am to look at it in the mundane way, it has been demonstrated that hard work isn't pertinent. The world has been corrupted.The hard reality of the world is that, without favor, the toil is futile. Nothing functions without favor. It doesn’t matter how hard you try. You may think that it matters, but the truth is, the world does not care about it. You must have favor at the end of the day. Favor becomes the victor in the end. No favors, you are out. That’s the way the world operates today. 

The world is getting tough every day.  It is going to get tougher to breathe in this world. The time will come when we will have to plead with people to let us breathe. The time will come where this will seem to be the only way to survive. However, is that something we should be doing? Is that something we must be handing ourselves over to?

No, not at all.  I know that it will not be simple, obviously! But when I already know that “….the Lord is the stronghold of my life then, of whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalm 27:1). As long as God is with me, I will not stumble, for “…He is my rock, in whom I take refuge” (Psalm 18: 2). Even when “war break out against me, even then, I will be confident” (Psalm 27:3). 

You see, the world is not what defines our life. The Word of God does. It is what determines our life. Not in terms of where we stand or our feelings or in the way the world thinks, but in accordance with what God thinks. We must “live as those made alive in Christ.” Colossians 3:2-4 — “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears then you also will appear with Him in glory.” Hang in there, even though it is getting tough today. You did not come all the way here to just quit now. There is so much more to the story. Let us not go according to what the world thinks of us, but according to what God thinks of us.

Point to remember:

The day will come when the Lord shall take us home. This will be the day when we shall be free of the pain we are going through today. 💪💪🏋️🏋️
