A Word of Encouragement

Hi everyone

Listening to you guys at Small Group over the past couple of weeks has been reminding me of how stressful exam time can be! I wanted to encourage you with some words from Colossians 3 which I used to always read and remember when exam time (or any kind of study) came round.

I recommend the entire chapter, however these verses stand out the most in this context...

Col 3:17, 23-24

"17And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him; 23Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, 24since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving."

Be encouraged that God cares about your study, and when you feel like procrastinating or giving up - remember that he cares more about the work you put in now, than the results you get at the end.

With love,
Lou
