Always Abounding: An Exposition of 1 Cor. 15:58

Do you get tired? Discouraged? Bummed out? Of course. All Christians do sometimes. Here's the verse which helps when you feel overworked and underappreciated:

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 (KJV)* My beloved brethren. Though we sometimes feel alone, we belong to the family of God. Be ye steadfast. "Be steadfast" means "be stable," "be firm." The Greek word alludes to sitting in a chair rather than pacing around--"fixed." Unmoveable, means "not to be moved from its place." Call it persistent, call it faithful. Always abounding in the work of the Lord. "Abounding" means "exceeding a number or measure," "over-and- above." The work of the Lord, is the answer. Work? My sister, my brother, this is a word for you: be "always abounding in the work of the Lord." Always. Over-and-above.

Knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord Some people hate washing dishes because more dirty dishes magically appear over night. Sweeping and vacuuming are the same way. Things never stay clean. Someone is always tracking dirt on your carpet. Is there no end? You get discouraged. It's only when you consider the alternatives that you get out your Hoover vacuum cleaner and have another go at it.

God keeps track of our faithfulness in His work. He sees us serving Him when no one else sees. And seeing us hanging in there brings joy to his heart.

Yes, I get discouraged and so do you. But God keeps bringing us back to this verse to buck us up and help us to see the importance of faithful service. Don't give up. Your labor in Christ is not in vain.
