“So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.”
Galatians 6:9 NLT
You hear me say this all the time.
I don’t do it to receive a blessing but I receive a blessing for doing it.
I love Blessings.
Now let’s look at that verse from our self side.
We are going to have all kinds of problems, frustrations and difficulties. That's just life. So knowing this, what do we do?
We must remain steadfast and persevere. In other words, the answer is to never give up, never give in!
No matter what's going on in our lives, the victory is in refusing to quit.
Keep in mind that in the heat of our struggles, God is probably doing His greatest work within us.
He will lead us through anything if we'll just hang in there and follow Him.
This means being diligent in prayer, relentless in our resolve, unwavering in faith, and determined to stand firmly on God's Word and His promises to us.
Many times we can be sidetracked by how slowly things seem to be going. In fact, the enemy loves to point that out! But remember, that's when God may be doing some of His greatest work.
“Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.”
Hebrews 10:36 NLT
You see, it's not all about you and me. The Lord's work in us is preparation for the work He wants to do through us!
“God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.”
James 1:12 NLT
I know life can be hard sometimes. But I also know that God will help us if we remain steadfast.
Let's stand on Galatians 6:9: "So let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up".
“Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone—especially to those in the family of faith.”
Galatians 6:10 NLT
Lord God,
I believe that You are at work in my life, especially during difficult times. I choose today to remain steadfast and to never give up in obedience to You.
Amen
— Dennis
