“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 wonderful privilege to work for the Lord while we are here in this world, and to be able to do His will. However, when things do not go very well, we can easily become discouraged. Perhaps we do not see many results from our work for the Lord, and we may wonder if it is all worthwhile. But our verse for today shows us that we will see results, if we do not give up.
Yesterday I had a phone call from a friend with whom I had gone to medical school. I had not seen him for some years, as he lives in southern U.S.A. It was about 60 years ago that I first spoke to him about being saved, and all through our years in university I reminded him that he needed to come to Christ. Sadly, there was no response, although we remained good friends. However, the Lord was working, and last night he told me that just a little while ago, he had accepted Christ as his Savior. He is now 79 years old.
Needless to say, I told him that not only had he made my day, but that he had made my year! Let us remember not to give up or become discouraged, for we shall reap, as our verse says.
