It is not always easy to follow Jesus
and live to please God. But when you lack motivation, what can you do? Read the
Bible! The word of God gives courage and good reason to continue to serve God
faithfully. Find your motivation again with these verses:
1. Work is not useless - "Therefore, my
beloved brethren, stand fast, and let nothing upset you. Always be devoted to
the work of the Lord, for you know that in the Lord your work will not be
useless. " 1 Corinthians 15:58
Sometimes it seems that obeying God does not
pay. You may be facing difficulties and suffering but do not give up! Your work
is not useless. When you obey God you become part of God's great plan and what
you do will have an effect even if you can not see it now.
2. God helps - "What then shall we say
before these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? " Romans
8:31
Yes, the difficulties can be great but God is
greater. If you have God on your side, nothing can stop you! Follow Jesus and
obey him and you will see that no obstacle is too great for God.
3. Strength for the weary - "Do not you
know? Never heard of it? The Lord is the eternal God, the Creator of all the
earth. He does not grow tired or exhausted, his wisdom is unfathomable. He
strengthens the weary and gives great strength to the one without strength.
" Isaiah 40: 28,29
Something takes away much motivation is
physical and emotional tiredness. But you're not fighting alone. God is with
you and he has the strength you need. When you can not, rely on God's strength
and seek rest in Him.
4. Planting to reap - "And let us not
grow weary of doing good, for in time we shall reap, if we do not lose heart."
Galatians 6: 9
God has a proper time for everything. You may
not see the results now, but if you do not give up following Jesus, you will
reap the rewards. God has many blessings prepared for you, such as peace,
restoration, and eternal life. It even helps not to give up! So stand firm.
Jesus has the reward prepared for you. That's
the best motivation!
