about staying at our post...

I am reading the book WarriorChicks by Holly Wagner and i want to share with you an excerpt from the book...

Jesus stayed at HIS post, the Bible tells us. "for the joy set before him"

He did not quit.

He completed His journey because He saw us, you and me in His future.

we are the joy that was set before Him.

He stayed at His post...for us.

I don't know to which posts you have been assigned. Maybe you are a student. Finish that class. Stay at that post.

How about your job? Can you remain faithful to that post?

Do you have a goal? A mission? A vision? Stay at your post.

I am doing my best to stay at the posts to which I have been assigned.

How about you?

People are watching us as we stay at our post,

alertly, unswervingly...

in hard times, tough times, bad times;

when we're beaten up, jailed and mobbed;

working hard, working late, working without eating;

with pure heart, clear head, steady hand;

in gentleness, holiness, and honest love;

when we're telling the truth, and when God's showing his power;

when we're doing our best setting things right;

when we're praised, and when we're blamed;

slandered, and honored; true to our word, though distrusted;

ignored by the world, but recognized by God;

terrifically alive, though rumored to be dead;

beaten within an inch of our lives, but refusing to die;

immersed in tears, yet always filled with deep joy;

living on handouts, yet enriching many;

having nothing, having it all.

-2 Corinthians 6:3-10
