day no. 17,251: where you are going and how it's going

"We look at how hard the path is, instead of where the hard path goes.” — Douglas Wilson, Mines of Difficulty

Where you are going is more important than how it is going.

Proverbs 4:26

Ponder the path of thy feet, 

and let all thy ways be established.

Your direction will determine your destination. 

Your determination will ensure that you get there.

The work of God is good, hard work. It is good; and it is often hard. And the reward for completing a difficulty task is typically a harder task. If you do good work in second grade, you get promoted to third grade work. So, be grateful for good, hard work and get to it.

1 Corinthians 15:58

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Do not go off script or get off the path. Keep plodding and and abounding in the work where you are, knowing that it is not for nothing. God sees and He will reward.
