Do Not Despair

The Servant of Jehovah, Jesus, was called, named, prepared, hidden, and promised glory. Yet he still struggled with a sense of failure when he looked at the ordinariness of his life and accomplishments. Yet, even though his sense of failure, he maintained his faithful dependence on his Father. And through a life that seemed ordinary and purposeless, God brought about the greatest and most glorious victory in history. Like the Servant of Jehovah, you, Christian, have been called, named, prepared, hidden and received glorious promises. You, too, will likely experience a sense of failure. Yet, like the Servant of Jehovah, God will accomplish his purposes in you through faithfulness in ordinary life.
