Galatians 6:9-10
9So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest-time, if we do not give up. 10So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us work for the good of all, and especially for those of the family of faith.
I don’t know if you ever feel like whatever good efforts you’re doing – whether it’s in a relationship or on a diet or for the betterment of a community – if whatever you’re doing just doesn’t seem to matter. I hope I’m not the only one who feels that way! Doing the “right thing” doesn’t always appear to make a difference – the long-term gains are far more valuable, clearly, but the short-term, instant gratification often isn’t there.
These verses can bring us encouragement during those times, when perhaps we waffle on a decision or grow discouraged. I appreciate the emphasis on working for the good of all whenever we have the opportunity. Now, where do we see an opportunity to work for the good of all? Let us be encouraged and not grow weary.
Peace,
Pastor Jenn
