How many times have we heard something like this: What is the use of being in the church all day? Looks at someone, never went to church and has a barbarous family; or, What do you want to leave your money in the church ?, Look at so-and-so, deny every day against God and his economy is enviable; or, Why do you go to church to look for health ?, look at a whore, or know that God exists but is an oak; You have noticed how many times you hear these or similar questions.
They are the swords that the world wields to drive back those who are not firmly grounded in the strong rock that is Our Lord Jesus Christ; To hear these words in the mouths of those who do not know the Lord may be acceptable, but in no way can they sound from the lips of those who profess to be Christians, children of the Most High God, and even fewer of those who have enjoyed the Lord's grace and blessing. their lives.
Today you can be listening to someone who tells you: It's not worth it, your problem is stinking because it's been for a long time, it has no solution, there's nothing and nobody can fix your marriage, your economy or your health, there is no possible remedy, it is not worth it if you sacrifice yourself or make an effort.
But also the enemy is present wielding the sword of doubt that is stuck in your mind saying: "It is not worth being in church, you do not see that your life is the same and you have the same problems"; "It's not worthwhile to follow Jesus, the only thing you get is to dislike you with family and friends"; "It's not worth going to church, since you're going for less money"; "It's not worthwhile to follow Christ, it's a waste of time and you get nothing."
The Lord wants to tell you that it is not in vain to follow his ways and serve in his work for whoever does it "It will be like a tree planted by a stream of water, which bears fruit in its time, and its leaf does not fall; And whatever he does shall prosper. Not so the bad ones, who are like the chaff that the wind snatches "Psalm 1: 3-4, will be sustained every day by the grace and power of God, so that you may not see or understand it, but He will provide in your table, Psalm 23: 1, you will see that after the sacrifice that seemed useless come the fruits, Hebrews 12:11, and when the heat of the struggle is upon you, He will support you with his right hand, Isaiah 41:10, so that all your ways prosper.
