# Serve No Matter What As we draw nearer to the end of our devotional journey, it's crucial to acknowledge a common hurdle we all encounter at some stage. Despite diligently applying all the principles we've discussed and investing significant effort, the desired results might still elude us. These periods of discouragement and doubt are a normal part of the process, and it's important to remember that it's okay to experience them. The key to moving forward during these trying times lies in revisiting our core motivation - the commitment to serve others. Service can sometimes be tiring, particularly when the fruits of our labor are not immediately evident or when we encounter obstacles. However, the Bible encourages us not to lose heart. As marketers, our form of service could be providing a product or a service that enhances the lives of our customers. Our role is to persist in our efforts, secure in the knowledge that our work is not in vain. At the proper time, we will reap the fruits of our labor. This may require us to reconsider our strategy, rethink our messaging, or even take a different direction entirely. Yet, the primary focus should remain the same: serving others. So let's stay the course, and in due time, we'll see the harvest of our efforts. ## Questions 1. How do you handle situations when you're feeling weary in your efforts? 2. Are there areas in your marketing strategy that require you to rethink or take a different direction? 3. How can you maintain your focus on serving others, even in challenging times? ## Prayer Dear Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your promise that our labor in You is not in vain. We pray for strength and endurance when we feel weary in our efforts. Help us to keep our eyes on the goal of serving others, even when it's challenging, knowing that at the proper time, we will reap a harvest. Grant us wisdom to reconsider our strategies and rethink our messaging when necessary, and keep our hearts set on serving others. In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen.
