THE WILDERNESS HAD A WITNESS

In the new world where no one wants to commit, Everyone wants to lead, nobody wants to submit. Working hard with no hidden agenda is hard, I admit. Most times, you do all the work but get little benefit. Do you feel unseen and want to quit? Does it seem like your efforts have no merit? And are you growing with this mindset? Do you know? The wilderness had a witness. Let me tell you about a little boy, David. He wasn't so important in his father's house; he was the least. He did all the dirty jobs, just name it. But they simply called him a shepherd boy, nothing much about him. Being a shepherd boy was the reason they ignored him. Of a truth, he kept the sheep as though they were his own. But they gave him no credit. Whatever life threw at him, he built strength from it. Because tell me, how would a shepherd kill Goliath? When he was doing the work, nobody saw, but God did. You can go to the Scripture and read all about him. The wilderness had a witness. I know faithful service sometimes looks foolish, Especially when the people you are doing it for don't see it, Or they treat your kindness as though it were your duty. Please don't give up; there is a God who sees in secret. Do you say your story isn't as significant as David's? There is Gideon, whom the angel of the Lord called mighty. He was just holding things together, threshing wheat and hiding it. He did that so the Midianites wouldn't steal it. Also, Joseph was faithful while still hurting. Betrayal didn't change his behaviour, but he kept on fighting. Should I talk about Moses, Ruth, and Nehemiah, and how they were chosen? The wilderness had a witness. Look at the great people in your world. They have stories of how they did the work. I am not saying your faithfulness will always be rewarded, But I want you to know that the One who made the eye can see. And it doesn't always show in your results. I am saying it starts with the chores, Those very chores everyone ignores. I am encouraging you, and also myself, not to give up, Because in due season, we will reap if we do not stop. Because, The wilderness had a witness
