Do Not Grow Weary

Read Galatians 6:6-10

Think for a moment about something you've been enthusiastic about recently. Maybe it was spending the holidays with family and friends, maybe it was the start of a new year with new horizons or maybe it was the thought of something that's happened recently in your understanding of God - knowing more fully who He is and experiencing more of His presence in your life. Whatever it is for you, we've all experienced enthusiasm. Yet on the opposite end of the spectrum but not such a far way off is discouragement. We've all been there - all fired up and enthusiastic about something, but at what seems like the blink of an eye our enthusiasm fades. And this can happen quickly and without notice.

The Apostle Paul wrote the book of Galatians and said that we are not to "become weary in doing good." Easier said than done wouldn't you agree? I don't know about you but over and over in my life after a spiritual high where enthusiasm is at it's peak, come times when I grow weary. And what I want us to remember is God's word, because I think this growing weary stuff happens to all of us. Paul says in Galatians 6:9 - Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

God has a promise that there's a harvest coming for all of us who do not give up in doing the good He has called us to! Let's be enthused by this truth. That the God who promises is the God who always delivers!! Circumstances, people, health, life all these things will let us down, but God will never fall short of the promises He's made! Amen.
