“I replied, ‘But my work seems so useless!
I have spent my strength for nothing and to no purpose.
Yet I leave it all in the LORD’s hand;
I will trust God for my reward.’”
Isaiah 49:4
encouragement for today
Have you ever felt this way? You’ve spent your strength for nothing. Still, Isaiah trusts in God for his reward. What do you need to leave in God’s hands and trust him for today? Picture his open hands, ready to receive your discouragement, your weariness, your fear of the future. Bring it all to him, leaving it in his hands. Trust him for your reward. It’s all safe in his nail-scarred hands.
