And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.
Galatians 6:9 ESV
I hope you got the BIG IF...
Relevant Scriptures:
Isaiah 40:31 Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.
Matthew 10:22 You will be hated by everyone on account of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.
1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast and immovable. Always excel in the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
2 Corinthians 4:1 Therefore, since we have this ministry through the mercy of God, we do not lose heart.
2 Corinthians 9:6 Consider this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.
Matthew Henry Commentary 6:6-11 Many excuse themselves from the work of religion, though they may make a show, and profess it. They may impose upon others, yet they deceive themselves if they think to impose upon God, who knows their hearts as well as actions; and as he cannot be deceived, so he will not be mocked. Our present time is seed time; in the other world we shall reap as we sow now. As there are two sorts of sowing, one to the flesh, and the other to the Spirit, so will the reckoning be hereafter. Those who live a carnal, sensual life, must expect no other fruit from such a course than misery and ruin. But those who, under the guidance and influences of the Holy Spirit, live a life of faith in Christ, and abound in Christian graces, shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. We are all very apt to tire in duty, particularly in doing good. This we should carefully watch and guard against. Only to perseverance in well-doing is the reward promised. Here is an exhortation to all to do good in their places. We should take care to do good in our life-time, and make this the business of our lives. Especially when fresh occasions offer, and as far as our power reaches.
My pondering: Like any endeavor we who shall overcome and be successful are best served by keeping our eye on the prize while learning and modeling those who are winning or have already won. In this case, the best are the one and same… None other than Jesus. He is the prize and champion!
My prayer: Lord, you are all in all. Please escort me in thy ways to the finish line.
