Do you ever feel tired and worn out? There are so many things that can wear us down. Sadly, we often let frivolous things consume our time and wear us down. But sometimes, even good and honorable things can become burdensome. Doing what is right and good can bring its own set of challenges. But instead of giving up on goodness, we need to cultivate an attitude that will empower us to persist.
Galatians 6:9 says, “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” God knows that it isn’t always easy for us to do good. Sometimes, we are persecuted. Sometimes, we’re mocked. Other times, it seems fruitless, or maybe we feel alone trying to be faithful. Whatever might get us down, God says, “Don’t give up.” Reaping blessings for doing good isn’t just a wish—it’s a promise from God. So don’t give up, and don’t grow weary in doing good and following the Lord.
