The book of 2 Chronicles records 5 national spiritual revivals that took place in the OT. The first occurred under the leadership of King Asa (2 Chron. 15-16). When this young leader took over the helm, he faced opposition and criticism.
The prophet gave him this word, "Be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded."
It's so easy to get discouraged in life. Whether you are a mom feels completely unappreciated for all the work she does around the house or a minister who gets more complaints than compliments, know this - your work will get rewarded.
One day God will reconcile the books. Rest assured. Don't quit.
