Galatians 6:9 encourages us to keep on pressing on when we feel weary. The harvest comes at the proper time. Not in our time but in His. This doesn't mean that I have to work myself ragged without any rest. I am allowed to take much needed breaks. Tom and I were grateful for the days off that we had over the Easter holiday. But, taking those days off did not indicate that we were giving up. It was simply a time to recharge and unwind a bit.
Even when our hearts are in the right place and we are living out our purpose we can still grow weary at times. Doing good can get tedious, feel overwhelming, and we may even think that we are not making any headway for all of our efforts...and yet...His word says we will reap a harvest "if" we do not give up.
May you find the strength, encouragement and determination to hang in there. The harvest is on the way!

...Yes, we will reap the harvest if we dont give up. Very encouraging
ReplyDeleteAmen! Doing good can become tedious especially when you don't see a harvest, but you are right if we wait it will come. In His time, not ours.
ReplyDeleteLord, give me strength!
