1 Timothy 4:15-16
Practice these things, immerse yourself in them, so that all may see your progress. Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers.
Practice.
Progress.
Persistence.
Practice presupposes hard work.
Progress presupposes pay off.
Persistence presupposes impatience.
1 Corinthians 15:58
Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.
Hard work is hard, but it can hardly be ignored. It is not for nothing. It is for Someone. And He always attends it and rewards it, both now and forever.
Galatians 6:9
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.
Hard work wears you out, but keep it up. Don't give in to weariness. Seeds sown will sprout. The fruit of faithfulness will shoot up and the harvest of righteousness will flood the fields of the entire earth.
