May We Not Grow Weary in Doing Good

Help us not to grow weary in doing good…. (Galatians 6:9)

Why this verse? Because the rest of this verse promises “we will reap a harvest if we don’t give up”! We all need to remember this when we’re worn out, when things don’t seem to go right, when we can’t see our way clearly: if we keep on, we’ll reap a harvest!

In those times when we want to give up, we come to our God “who is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.” (2 Corinthians 9:8) In all things at all times, having all that we need, we will abound. What a wonderful old-fashioned word, brimming with energy.

Be encouraged when you feel overwhelmed, for our Lord promises “He will not forget your work and the love you have shown Him as you have helped His people and continue to help them.” (Hebrews 6:10) And, “He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.” (2 Corinthians 9:10)

Our Lord supplies what we need, and He brings in the harvest. He doesn’t forget our hard work and the love we have shown Him as we help His people. What wonderful promises for those who don’t grow weary in doing good.
