I have not spoken in secret, in a corner of the land of darkness; I did not call the descendants of Jacob to a fruitless service, saying, Seek Me for nothing but I promised them a just reward. I, the Lord, speak righteousness (the truth); I declare things that are right.
You are not called to a fruitless service. The Lord will not ask you to seek Him if He cannot be found. He has not made promises in secret or in a corner for He does not plan to change His mind. He speaks only the truth.
Have you ever sometimes wondered if the service you were called to is fruitless? Sometimes, it may seem insignificant or not yeilding the kind of reward you want. Sometimes, it leaves you tired and wondering if you have taken the right path. Today as you seek your loving Father, you will find Him. His words to you today are "I have not called you to a fruitless service. I speak only the truth."
Be encouraged. Your Loving Father values your response and the things He has called you to do.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, there are many things that demand my attention, time, and energy. You have placed in me a ministry or service that brings eternal significance to others. As go about it, I pray for strength, endurance and fervency, no matter the challenges I may face or if I seem ineffective. May I find fulfilment as I obey You. In Jesus Name, Amen.
