Sand the floor. Paint the fence.

From today’s reading…

Though I thought I had toiled in vain,

and for nothing, uselessly, spent my strength,

Yet my reward is with the LORD,

my recompense is with my God.”

Mr. Miyagi had Daniel LaRusso “Sand the floor. Wax on. Wax off. Paint the fence.”

Daniel didn’t understand how the repeated physical labor was preparing him to compete in the critical karate tournament.

Likewise, God has given you an opportunity to work. To toil. To labor.

Trust the process. He has a plan to

…make you a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.”

You and I just need to…

Stay the course. Keep the faith. Endure.
