He will choose someone else

Joshua 3-6; 1 Corinthians 4

1 Corinthians 4:10 We are fools for Christ, but you are so wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are honored, we are dishonored!

Paul was trying to teach the Corinthians that life on earth isn't worth losing their life in heaven. As Christians, life wasn't and still isn't the best. People everyday are being persecuted for following Christ and that is something we have to deal with. It would be so much easier to live for nothing but ourselves but it is so much more rewarding to live for God.

v.11-12 To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty, we are in rags, we are brutally treated, we are homeless. ¹²We work hard with our own hands. When we are cursed, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;

As the Lords followers there are things we are required to do even if we don't want to. Its the fruits of the Spirit that make us different from the rest of the world.

v.13 when we are slandered, we answer kindly. Up to this moment we have become the scum of the earth, the refuse of the world.

God gave us strength to get through life's surprises - good or bad. Paul was able to go through things other men couldn't which is why He chose Paul for that certain missions because He knew it was in him to be successful.

When God calls us its because He knows and has seen our success yet we have to believe in ourselves to truly be successful or God will find another person to finish.

Lord,
Thank you for trusting me to do your work. I want to finish your work with success and be in heaven with you celebrating all the people that have found you. Keep me on your path because anywhere else i will be lost.
I forever love you always
Amen
