never useless!!!!!!!
1 Corinthians 15:58 So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and steady, always enthusiastic about the Lord's work, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.
What great news that no matter what, if it is for the Lord it aint useless. You know, I am sure there are many times when we go out there and try something in ministry and it doesn't work or come through. Maybe a retreat that no one signs up for, or preparing a Bible Study and coming to find that only one person shows, so you just hang out, week after week. Or worse yet, no one shows and all the money and prep, and effort seems useless. But that just isn't the case.
Nothing, absolutely nothing, you do for the Lord (be it washing a roommates dishes, or making phone calls, sharing the Gospel, or gathering schedules to find a meeting time, be it big, small, long or short, nothing means nothing) is ever useless!!
That is such great news, and that is why it say in the Bible, always be enthusiastic about the Lord's work, because it always matters, and it is always noticed, and it always useful. There is no other work on earth that you can say with all certainty that no matter what it is it won't be useless. No wonder we are to be enthusiastic, not begrudging, or sad, or burnt out, or walking with heavy fit and a frown, no how could you be in such a state unless there was something you were missing, and perhaps it is the realization that you are doing the Lord's work, and it is never useless. Celebrate that reality today my friend, celebrate never having to be useless again!
