Do not grow weary in doing good!

Galatians 6:9 (Just keep Swimming!) Let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

We are called in the face of adversity to do what is good and right instead of what is easy.  We may see the wicked “prospering”, when what is really happening is they are sowing a life of destruction.  In Psalm 73, the Levite Asaph writes that he lamented in what he saw of the people not serving God and how they seemed to be prospering.  In verse 17, he was in worship at the worship center and God showed him the plan that He had for those very same people.  Asaph saw how God “set them on slippery places” and how “they are utterly consumed with terrors”.  The point that I am trying to make here is that we cannot get discouraged when things get a little bit difficult.  We will get tired, cranky, worn out, and exhausted, but we must continue on bringing the Gospel to people, praying for one another (if we are mad or not), winning the lost and making disciples.  That is the Great Commission.  You ever looked for the meaning of life?  Here it is people.  Until such time that Jesus comes back we are to continue fighting the good fight of faith, as Paul put it.  No one is too far gone to be saved by the grace of God.  In fact there are people out there that are crying out to God for someone to just be good to them for once instead of shunning them like the rest of the world does.  Jesus paid much too high a price for us to pick and choose who should go to heaven.  Remember to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, then to love your neighbor as yourself.  The devil would love to have us give up on our efforts of winning the lost and making disciples.  It is for that reason that we are called into spiritual warfare (see Ephesians 6:10-17).  Once we engage in such warfare, he will try even harder to beat us down.  That is what this verse is all about.  God is going to give us the fruit of our efforts in due time.  Yes it’s going to be difficult, but the reward is beyond anything that you could imagine.
