I just read this as part of my daily devotions and wanted to share some initial thoughts. There is a lot of work, not many workers, and the harvest is among the fiercest of enemies. It will be this way until he returns. Taking up your cross daily is no small task in these conditions but it is the calling of every Christian. Talk about tough. All I can think of are the words of Paul, "To live is Christ, and to die is gain". Not once did Christ ever call someone to a life of good health and wealth. The reward of Christ is eternal but getting to eternity will be no small task. We will be troubled, persecuted, and brought low. We must be ready to fight this good fight of faith which God has put before us. We must be ready to take the role of the suffering servant with Christ, himself, as our example. We must keep our eyes on that eternal prize of the glory of God so that when we are under fire, we will not lose hope. I pray you find your hope in His perfect glory.
