You’re Doing Great, Don’t Give Up

“And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap, if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint.” You’re doing great, don’t give up now. We all can get weary in doing good. In times of needing refuge from the struggles of life, there is help. The bible says come to me all of you that labour and are heavy laden (Matthew 11:28-29), and the Lord will give you rest. Our struggles and battles in life are not unknown to the Lord. When He says let us not become weary in well doing, that means we can do this. But not so easily without God’s help. All soldiers get weary from the battle and must recoup and regroup, but not give up or give in. Our strength comes from the Lord (Isaiah 40:31), and to utilize that help we must spend some quality time with Him. In those quiet times alone with the Lord, is where He can instill in us that which is needed to carry on in the fight of life. Once tapped into the Lord and His power, we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. He leads us beside the still waters of peace and quiet. Once we’ve gotten what we need it’s time to continue the good fight of faith. Our work is not in vain, the Lord sees your good works and your effort in staying steady in doing good. “Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in” (psalm 24:7-10). Stay encouraged, you’ve got great backing.
