Isaiah 6:10

God was warning Isaiah that his message was going to be rejected, so that the effect of his ministry would be to leave people less sensitive to spiritual things than before (for hearts are always calloused by saying no to God). In the same way, we who speak for Christ today must be prepared to find that what we say is disregarded and we are laboring with little or no visible success. Like Isaiah, we are called to be faithful, not necessarily fruitful. Faithfulness is our business; fruitfulness is an issue that we must be content to leave with God. Visible success in the form of instant results is not guaranteed in Christian ministry.

REFLECT: God asks me to be faithful, not successful.

How about you? Do you ever feel like you labor with no visible fruit? What is your response to the Lord?
