In I Corinthians 16:13, we find this challenging, little verse -- "Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong." I am also challenged by this quote from Phillips Brooks --
"Do not pray for easy lives! Pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but YOU shall be a miracle." What a great challenge for us on this Monday as we begin a new week of laboring for the Master "from the dawn till setting sun".
So, as we labor this week, let us remember to --- "Be strong! We are not here to play, to dream, to drift; We have hard work to do, and loads to lift. Shun not the struggle; face it. Tis God's gift.
Be strong! It matters not how deep entrenched the wrong, How hard the battle goes, the day how long, Faint not, fight on! Tomorrow comes the song!"
