A Messy Work Can Be Profitable

Prv_14_4_messy

I once heard someone say, “If there’s a Godly battle, I want to be in the middle of it – because that’s where God will be.”

Awhile back, we had a hard work before us. Through patience, perseverance, and prayer, we believe in our heart the work was profitable for sake of Christ. It was a Kingdom work. It was hard work. It was messy work. And it was profitable work.

Prov 14:4 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.

Sometimes, there will be messy work. If there is never a messy work, is it really a work? I’m not suggesting you should ever leave the mess. Every day brings its own mess. At the end of the day, we clean the mess of the day. Tomorrow could bring a different mess.

Messy doesn’t necessarily mean bad. Hard doesn’t necessarily mean terrible. To never have a mess, one could wonder is there a progress or profit in the work.
