The Bible teaches us in Galatians 6:9 that we should not get weary in well doing for in due season we shall reap if we faint not. But what do you do when you're good is spoken evil of? What do you do when you do get weary, because life can sometimes weigh us down?
Sickness comes, financial hardships come, friends and even family can sometimes forsake you, and you begin to ask the question is my labor in vain. But I think the Apostle Paul sheds some light for us when we find ourselves ready to throw in the towel. He tells us in Phil 3:14, to press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling.
A press tells us that it will not be easy. But we have an example in Jesus Christ who finished the race; Christ went all the way to the cross just to redeem us. So when you feel like giving up just remember in this time of Lent what Christ did for us. He died so that we could live life more abundantly.
I feel comforted by this.
A new post will be up next Saturday. . .
Thank you for the encouragement.
ReplyDeleteIt's not easy trying to see the light at the end of the tunnel when your going through a situation. I find that just focusing on God's promises and praising him in the meantime is very helpful. When the tears flow there is such a feeling of relief afterwords.
I try to use my pain as a cleansing for my soul. Thank you for the comment.
