Galatians 6:9

“And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart (NKJV)”.

The natural pressures, worries and cares of life are enough to cause anyone to let out a big SIGH! However, the Word of the Lord encourages us to not be weary. To be weary according to Webster’s Dictionary means to be exhausted in strength, endurance, vigor and freshness; having your pleasure exhausted. I would paraphrase it by saying you have run out of feeling good. Many times we feel this way for justifiably natural reasons. But let me remind you of the spiritual reason why you feel this way. It is because you are doing good; And because you are doing good, in your mind the cycle of reciprocity should bring some consistency, pay off, reward or benefit for doing so. As the Scripture stated, be not weary in well doing. It is the well doers who are feeling worn out. The non-well doers keep making it happen. It is those of us who know we have to wait when God says wait. We don’t’ want to start anything that God has not sanctioned. So it is pressure on us to trust God. God promised Abraham, He would bless him through his own loins. It took twenty five years before God birthed Isaac to Abraham and Sarah. Talk about weary in the meantime. Read his account and you’ll see some pretty foolish things they both did, while waiting. I write this to say, while waiting, try not to get weary. For the end account of Abraham was blessing. The final part of the text intimates that you will reap if you do not lose heart. Keep the faith my brothers and sisters. It may be taking a while, but it is sure to come. Post a comment below and tell me some things you are waiting for, and I will pray with you that your strength will be restored. Have a great day!
