“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not” (Galatians 6:9).
It is a real privilege to help other people, and particularly other Christians, when they are in trouble. However, there are times when others may seem to need a lot of help, and perhaps we sometimes feel that they could do a little more to help themselves. Even when we are young, we may find that there are those who always seem to be in difficulty, and needing help. It is easy to become weary of helping them.
The word used here for “weary” is the same word in Greek as we had yesterday for “faint.” It means to lose heart, to become discouraged. But the Lord tells us not to become weary in well doing, for He will reward us in a coming day. There will always be those in this world who seem unable to manage their own lives properly, and who need more help. But the Lord loves them, and if He has given us the strength to help them, let us be thankful, and not faint.
