Every time I start a new work for the Lord, I hope and pray that it will grow and prosper…but I don’t know if it truly will.  That’s because it’s up to God if it will bear fruit, not me.  What He’s asking from me is simply obedience and to do it with all my heart, as working for the Lord. (Colossians 3:23)  In Ecclesiastes 9:10, it repeats this idea that whatever our hands find to do, we need to do it with all our might, for life is fleeting and we don’t get  do-overs…so we should work diligently while we have the opportunity…always striving to please God.
