BUT YOU BLESS
Today's reading: Psalm 108-110
"Then let them curse me if they like, but you will bless me!.." Psalm 109:28 NLT
"While they curse, may You bless!.." Psalm 109:28 NIV
I don't know what you're up to your armpits in right now, but I'll take a guess and say it's not being accepted by all around you.
How do I know?
Been there. Did that.
Maybe what God's leading you to do causes more of a stir than a following. Maybe there are more jumping off the bandwagon than on. Maybe the sign-up sheet tells the tale of disinterest or disregard. Maybe the excitement you have for the mission/project/ministry is enough to keep you going, but isn't attracting a host of the volunteers needed to get it up and going. Maybe no one else sees the need. Maybe no one else has the time. Maybe no one else 'gets it'.
It's frustrating.
I know.
But if God is with you...
If what you believe you are doing lines up with His will and His Word...
If He will receive all the glory...
If it will have eternal consequence...
If when you stand before Him He says, 'Well done, You did just what I asked you to do!'..
If one life is changed...
If at the end of the day God is the only one cheering you on...
Then it's worth it. Every minute. Every tear. Every effort. Every struggle. Every doubt.
Because when He blesses, it's enough!
