Father, we thank you for the diligence and passion of faithful missionaries, pastors, evangelists, song writers and others who are in the trenches of impacting lives destroyed by the devil’s vices. Sometimes we feel our impact on others is so insignificant in comparison to the Billy Grahams but you’ve called us to make a difference in our circle of influence where You strategically placed us. We’re reminded by Scripture today that You will be the One who evaluates our effectiveness. It is not the visible fruit of our labors that determines the validity of our calling, but it is obedience to Your Word that helps us to continue in the work You’ve called us to do. Help us to be faithful!
