Keeping On — Part 2 “In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good” (Ecclesiastes 11:6). A dying soldier asked a hospital chaplain to send a message to his Sunday school teacher. “Tell her I die a Christian and that I never forgot her teaching.” A few weeks later, after the teacher received the message, the chaplain received this reply: “May God have mercy on me! Only last month I resigned my Sunday school class for I felt that my teaching had done no good through the years. I am going back at once and will try again in Christ’s name to be steadfast to the end.” We should learn the lesson from the farmer. He plants … waits … waits, and waits some more. And though discouragements abound, the reaping finally comes. Just as the farmer is supported by the hope of a sure harvest, so every Christian worker should sow, weep, pray, and work in every hope of reaping fruit in God’s appointed time.
