Dear Young Christian:
“Be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord” (1 Corinthians 15:58).
For many of us it may be hard to start a job and then stick to it. There is a word used in the business world that denotes being able to keep at something until it is finished. The word is stick-to-itiveness.
When Hudson Taylor, the pioneer missionary to China, said goodbye to his wife as she died by his side, he knelt down and thanked the Lord for their many years together and for taking her home to be with Himself in heaven. He then asked the Lord to help him carry on the work he had begun in china. His love for his wife was exceeded only by his love for, and devotion to, the Lord Jesus.
Are you letting something hinder your service for Christ? Has something come up that has detracted or derailed some work He has given you to do? Get back on track today. Follow through, and you will have His “Well done, thou good and faithful servant” (Matthew 25:21).
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
