Not In Vain

1 Corinthians 15:58 KJV
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.

Andrew Murray in his book, Working for God points out that, "after fifty seven verses of exultant teaching concerning the mystery and the glory of the resurrection life in our Lord [there is] ...just one verse of practical application." The whole chapter on the resurrection glories boils down to this - always abound in the work of the Lord.
• Never slow down
• Never give up
• Never faint.

Though there may be times when it appears that the labor is not going so well, though you will sometimes not see the fruit and the produce of your work you may be assured of this truth.

Your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
• Labor on in the Lord
• Labor with anticipation and fervor and hope
Your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
