2 Chronicles 15:7
But you, take courage! Do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded.
Faith can never be content with slack handedness. Faith is encouraged and strengthened by being reminded of God's generous and meticulous bookkeeping. God doesn't owe anyone anything.
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.
The Lord keeps track of every effort you make and pays out to the penny. He is no skinflint. Nor is He a spendthrift. He doesn't throw His compliments away. When He rewards, He means it and He is always looking for ways to reward those going hard with as much as they can handle... and more. He gives heavy harvests to shoulders exhausted from sowing. He hands tons of joy to backs gladly bearing the burden of responsibility. God is a good master.
