Proverbs 21:8
"The way of a man is froward and strange:
but as for the pure his work is right."
If I did not
accomplish any of the things the Lord has called on me to do, I know that I shall
be rewarded as if I had fulfilled everything, because He sees the intention
with which I began,
and even if He called me to Himself today, the work
would not suffer at all, because He Himself is the Lord of both the
work and the worker.
People can often set up standards we
could never meet. Even if we do our very best, and even if we have the best
of intentions, everything would still be inadequate for them and all the work
we do would be unappreciated and unrecognized. Not so with God. It is our intention that is important to Him, whether we fail or
succeed in doing what we ought; because we can find confidence in God’s pleasure if we
have done everything we could to do His will.
God knows what we can and cannot do. He does not expect us
to do something beyond what we are capable of.
If ever He intends to use us to accomplish things beyond our power, He will
give us all the power we need and fill whatever is lacking in us.
Thank the Lord for compassion! Praise Him who knows us well and recognizes all our
efforts to please Him. Blessed indeed are those who serve Him because He
understands our weaknesses and supplies all the strength we need to accomplish
His will.
Amen!
