What does it mean to always abound in the work of the Lord?
Alexander Strauch reminds us of the profound truth that being involved in the Lord's work is not reserved solely for church leaders or missionaries. It's a calling for every Christian. Reflecting on the man who founded their church, he notes the dedication and time invested in God's work, despite the individual's other commitments. The message is clear: the work of the Lord is rewarding, meaningful, and fulfilling, standing in contrast to the many meaningless pursuits that can occupy our time.
Strauch emphasizes that wherever God has placed us is exactly where we should be abounding in His work. This includes everyday tasks like raising children, maintaining a household, or fulfilling our duties at a regular job. These too are significant contributions to God's kingdom. The key is to be steadfast and immovable, understanding that even the seemingly mundane tasks are part of the divine calling and will be rewarded by God beyond our imagination.
1 Corinthians 15:58 (NKJV): "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord."
