Do You Labour In Vain?

There are times when our efforts seem to go unnoticed, our prayers unanswered, and our labour without fruit. In those moments, the enemy whispers that all is in vain. Yet God’s Word assures us that nothing done for Him is ever wasted. Every seed planted in love, every act of service, every quiet prayer rises before Him as a fragrant offering.


We may not always see the harvest immediately. Some results belong to future generations, others are hidden in hearts only God can measure. Our task is not to control the outcome but to remain faithful in the work. In the unseen places, the Spirit is moving, shaping, and preparing.


The Scripture declares, “Keep busy always in your work for the Lord, since you know that nothing you do in the Lord’s service is ever useless” (1 Corinthians 15:58 TLB). In His hands, no labour is ever in vain.


Quote

Prayer

Lord, remind me that every work in You has lasting value. Amen.


Action Point
