There are times when we lose our focus and become discouraged, tired of doing good. God wants to encourage, refresh and bless you. It is important not to quit or allow fatigue to overtake you, as you plant where God leads. You will reap a harvest of blessing, in season. Do not let the waiting for the harvest discourage you. Keep allowing God’s Spirit to work in you and rest in his provision of refreshment on the journey.
Galatians 6:7-10 (The Message)
“Don’t be misled: No one makes a fool of God. What a person plants, he will harvest. The person who plants selfishness, ignoring the needs of others—ignoring God!—harvests a crop of weeds. All he’ll have to show for his life is weeds! But the one who plants in response to God, letting God’s Spirit do the growth work in him, harvests a crop of real life, eternal life. So let’s not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don’t give up, or quit. Right now, therefore, every time we get the chance, let us work for the benefit of all, starting with the people closest to us in the community of faith.”
