Welcome to Daily Growth Point, I’m Pastor John Bingham.

When President John Q. Adams lost his bid for a second term in the White House, He ran for and won a seat in the House of Representatives. There he would spend most of the rest of his life fighting to end slavery in America.

This position was not widely popular when Adams began his efforts, and often he labored nearly alone. Yet he refused to be discouraged from doing what he believed was right. In the face of the obstacles, Adams said, “Duties are ours. Results are God’s.”

Though he did not live to see slavery ended, his faithful work helped bring about the result he longed to see. Many times we may become discouraged by how people respond to truth. But the only thing for which God holds us accountable is faithfulness in declaring the message. Choose to be faithful, and leave the results to God.
