Do your Work

As many people these days are much discouraged by others/conditions around them, I am writing here about doing your work and finishing it joyfully.

Keep about your work (that God has given you). Do not flinch because the lion roars, do not stop to stone devil's dogs; do not fool away your time chasing the devil's rabbits. Do your work. Let liars lie, let corporations resolve, let the devils do his worst; but see to it that nothing hinders you from fulfilling the work that God given you. He has not commanded you to get rich. He has never bidden you defend your character. He has not set you at work to contradict falsehood (about yourself) which Satan and his servants may start to peddle. If you do those things, you will do nothing else; you will be at work for yourself and not for the Lord. Keep at your work. Let your aim be as steady as a star. You may be assaulted, wronged, insulted, slandered, wounded and rejected; you may be abused by the foes, forsaken by friends, and despised and rejected of men. But see to it with steadfast determination, with unfaltering zeal, that you pursue the great purpose of your life and object of your being until at last you can say, "I have finished the work which Thou gavest me to do." (John 17: 4). Amen!
