DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

C.H. Spurgeon emphasizes the importance of perseverance in faith, urging
believers to forget their weariness and continue their work for the
Lord. He acknowledges the many reasons to give up but highlights that
the reasons to press on far outweigh them. Spurgeon reassures that every
effort made in teaching and spreading the Word of God will yield
results, even if they are not immediately visible. He encourages the
faithful to renew their strength in the Lord, promising that their labor
is not in vain and will ultimately glorify God.

Putting our hand to this plough and looking back will prove that we were
unworthy of the kingdom. If there be a hundred reasons for giving up
your work of faith, there are fifty thousand for going on with it.
Though there are many arguments for fainting, there are far more
arguments for persevering. Though we might be weary, and do sometimes
feel so, let us wait upon the Lord and renew our strength, and we shall
mount up with wings as eagles, forget our weariness, and be strong in
the Lord and in the power of his might....

As the rain climbs not up to the skies, and the snow flakes never take
to themselves wings to rise to heaven, so neither shall the word of God
return unto him void, but it shall accomplish that which he pleases. We
have not spent our strength in vain. Not a verse taught to a little
girl, nor a text dropped into the ear of a careless boy, nor an earnest
warning given to an obdurate young sinner, nor a loving farewell to one
of the senior girls, shall be without some result or other to the glory
of God. And, taking it all together as a mass, though this handful of
seed may be eaten of the birds, and that other seed may die on the hard
rock, yet, as a whole, the seed shall spring up in sufficient abundance
to plentifully reward the sower and the giver of the seed. We know that
our labor is not in vain in the Lord.

From a sermon by Charles Haddon Spurgeon entitled "The Cause and Cure of
Weariness in Sabbath-School Teachers," delivered November 8, 1877.
