Well Doing — Part 1
“Ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing” (2 Thessalonians 3:13).
“Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not” (Galatians 6:9).
There is so much that can be done for the Lord that is considered “well doing.” It isn’t always busy activity either. It can be as “well doing” as praying for someone, even before we get out of bed in the morning. Maybe a text or message with an appropriate verse of Scripture or an encouraging thought for the day. Of course, there are a host of “well doings” that could keep us busy from morning until night, and we are exhorted by our verse today to carry these out patiently and joyfully, and in so doing we will reap a reward from the Lord, who so appreciates it and tells us, “In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good” (Ecclesiastes 11:6).
In His strength we can carry on without fainting for the blessing of others and the satisfaction of our own hearts, knowing there has been, for His glory, some “well doing” on our part today.
