BIBLE MEDITATION:
"Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord." 1 Corinthians 15:58

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
 Every day is a challenge, sometimes the issues of life seem overwhelming and full.  Think about this, there is nothing the God doesn't see.  Whatever we do, He sees and know. For some this may scare and cause shame for others it is assuring to know that when I al least try to be the best I can be for the Lrod , He is paying close attention. What we do, for Him,  in His eyes, never is in vain.  
 
ACTION POINT:
1 Peter 3:14-17 has the prescription for a fearful heart:
"But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed. And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.  But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed. For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.
