"And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up."
Galatians 6:9
Galatians 6:9 gives us a down-to-earth message about not losing our steam when it comes to doing good. Life can be tough, and sometimes it's tempting to throw in the towel. But this verse is all about persevering.
Think of it like being a dedicated farmer. You've planted the seeds of goodness, and now you're waiting for the harvest. The thing is, it's not going to happen overnight. This verse reminds us that good things take time, just like growing a real crop.
So, even when doing good feels like an uphill battle, don't give up. Keep at it. Your efforts will eventually pay off, like waiting for that perfect moment when your hard work finally pays dividends. Stay committed, keep being good, and trust that the rewards will come when the time is right.
Question of the week:
How can we maintain our motivation to do good even when faced with challenges and setbacks, and what strategies can we employ to ensure that we do not 'grow weary' in our pursuit of goodness and righteousness?
