I am amazed how many people will spend the time and energy to work up a sweat in the gym. Yet, when more important issues arise, people seem not to invest the same work ethic. We are to work unto the Lord. I believe that this means to put forth the effort it takes to do a job worthy of our Lord. So, don’t let sweat stop you from giving honor to our Savior.
See, we count as blessed those who have endured. You have heard of Job's endurance and have seen the outcome that the Lord brought about-the Lord is compassionate and merciful.
James 5:11
