God's Work.

Because Gospel work is God's work, we must "not despise the day of small things."  We started off as infinitesimally small cells, and by the blessing of Almighty God, we have not only become adults, but Christian adults.  This is just how God works!  So rejoice in His wonderful grace and provision.  Gospel work is brought before the Throne of grace at least once every day, and sometimes twice, seeking His Spirit's outpouring on Gospel work, and because He has commissioned the proclamation of the Gospel, HE WILL BLESS IT.  What were Augustine's wise words?  "Give what thou commandest, and command what thou wilt."  

Remember also, for your encouragement, William Carey's wise words, "God's work done in God's way will never lack the resources."  Only be sure that it is God's work you are doing, and that it is being done in His way.  Then we can expect the blessing of Heaven to fall upon it.  God's work is Gospel work!

We are committed to prayerfully supporting Gospel work, have contracted to pray for it constantly, and we expect God to answer our prayers.  And that's great!  The problem for us is that He always answers our prayers IN HIS OWN WAY AND IN HIS OWN TIME!  As Jesus told His disciples, "It is not for you to know the times and the seasons set by My Father."  And that often puzzles us. It is in times like that that we must hold on all the more to His faithfulness.  GOD IS GOOD.
