DON'T GROW WEARY

(By Glen Aycock)

SCRIPTURE: I CORINTHIANS 15:58

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

DEVOTIONAL ( number 5 in fishing series by Glen Aycock)

One of the principles of being good fishermen, is consistency. Last year I carried a fishing license in my wallet. I was legal and I had the equipment but I only caught two fish. (one was a throw away). I think I know the reason for the small number of fish. It would have been a different story in all likelihood if I had gone fishing more than once. This year I have a new license and a new opportunity to go often. I expect to catch more fish. The same analogy could be applied to being fishers of men. More souls can be saved if we consistently share Jesus with the lost. It is imperative that we not give up but that by every possible deed of service we throw the salvation line out into the masses of people who need the Lord. Don't quit or get discouraged, do your part and Christ will do his part. Bring the wandering ones to Jesus. I leave you with this example:
"After struggling to develop a viable electric light bulb for months and months, Thomas Edison was interviewed by a young reporter who boldly asked Mr. Edison if he felt like failure and if he thought he should give up now? Perplexed Edison replied, "Young man, why would I feel like a failure and why would I give up? I now know definitely over 9000 ways that an electric light bulb will not work and success is almost in my grasp. In the next month he was successful."

PRAYER THOUGHT: Dear Jesus, help us to consistently labor for souls. Amen."
