Be faithful to what God has called you to be and let him deal with the results.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. When I return from a ministry trip, I'm often asked, “How’d it go?” Well, the writer Steven James once pondered how the Lord would have replied to that question. He said: “If Jesus had returned to Capernaum after preaching and one of the disciples asked him ‘How’d it go, Jesus?’ He probably would have answered, ‘Well let’s see, most of the people didn't understand what I was talking about, and the ones who did called me demon-possessed and a drunk. Half the people walked out in the middle of my sermon and then a bunch of folks picked up some rocks and tried to drive me out of town. Other than that, I'd say it went pretty well.’” Even for Jesus, working in the kingdom had its ups and downs—but even with all the opposition experienced, Jesus was faithful to his calling. So, friend in ministry—be faithful to that which God has called you and let him deal with the results.
