The Work Is Not in Vain
The Work Is Not in Vain
“Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” — 1 Corinthians 15:58
Some weeks you wonder if it’s all making a difference.
You show up, you pray, you serve, you give, you love your family the best you can, and yet progress feels slow.
Maybe you're trying to raise your kids right, work a demanding job, help others, and still stay faithful to God. And yet… it can feel like you’re not seeing the results you hoped for.
Paul wrote this encouragement to people who felt the same way.
The early church was doing their best to follow Jesus in a difficult world. Paul reminded them: because Jesus rose from the grave, your work is not wasted.
Even when:
God sees. God knows. And God rewards faithfulness.
So keep going.
Keep doing good.
Keep showing up.
Even small things: an encouraging word, an honest prayer, a simple act of kindness, matter in God’s hands.
He promises it’s not in vain. What you’re sowing now will bring a harvest later.

- No one thanks you
- Your prayers feel unanswered
- Your effort goes unnoticed
