“Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
Galatians 6:99And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. (Galatians 6:9)
It doesn’t say “be not weary” and stop the sentence right there! We often are weary. Maybe there has been a long sleepless night caring for a sick child or a day overruled by a pounding headache. It is the “well-doing” part we are not to be weary of, and we read on to see that the reaping is “in due season.” Oh dear! Can we go on without the thanks and appreciation we thought would be coming our way? There are times when I have been disappointed that no one seemed to notice my valiant efforts. But then I am brought around in my thoughts to that ultimate sacrifice and Gift above all gifts. Have I looked up at any time today and whispered “thank you” for all He has given? He also was weary with His journey (John 4:66Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour. (John 4:6)), and He understands.
