When we are engaged in God’s work and we encounter setbacks, we can calmly carry on because, like the Israelites, we are the servants of the God of heaven and earth. Obstacles and delays may discourage us, but we can rest in Jesus’ promise: I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it. It is God’s power that enables His work, not our own.
Thou art our life, by which alone we live
And all our substance and our strength receive
Sustain us by Thy faith and by Thy power
And give us strength in every trying hour
God’s spirit gives the power to our witness.
