Exodus 19:1-25; Psalms 58:1-59:17; Acts 10:24-48
Thus saith the Lord; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the Lord. Jeremiah 31:16
Many a servant of God has laboured faithfully for years without seeing results. This can be very discouraging, and can cause the servant to doubt his calling. But in the parable of the sower, the Lord made it clear, that it is not for us to be concerned about results, but to faithfully sow the seed of the gospel, and to leave the results with God. Scripture gives us encouragement to do so, when we read “He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him” (Ps. 126:6). —W. H. Burnett
When our weeping’s over, He will bid us welcome,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves. —Geo. A. Minor
