Gal 6:9-10: And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith. (NKJV)
Weary from the Greek word “enkakōmen” meaning don’t lose heart in time needed. We have to be so careful and watch constantly that we do not fall prey to our own pre-judgments and prejudices. Our intentions are generally good but we are bombarded by wave after wave of ingratitude and unappreciation.
Let us be mindful daily and do not lose sight that what we do on the earth in terms of good, trying to help -WE DO ALL OF THIS AS UNTO GOD.
So while a word of thanks or an appreciative gesture would be nice, it goes without saying that we must persevere in spite of or the lack therof. If the Lord was and is exposed to the ungratefulness and thoughtless words of selfish people, who are we? The servant is never greater than the Master.
So let us persevere is doing good. IN SPITE of and NOT BECAUSE of. We are agents of the most HIGH GOD- and as such let us NOT LOSE HEART. As “opportunity” arises (from the Greek root “Kairon: meaning in the proper time or season) let us take hold of the opportunity and do good.
If we knew what tomorrow would bring and knew that the acts that we do today impact tomorrow, we will RUN to accomplish the things that will bring blessings for tomorrow. God has given us the blueprint for sowing for tomorrow. He holds tomorrow in HIS hands and tells us not to be weary in doing good.
LET US WATCH AND PRAY THAT GOD WILL OPEN OUR EYES TO DO GOOD IS THIS HOUR, THAT WE WILL SEE THE OPPORTUNITIES AS THEY ARISE AND WE TAKE HOLD OF THEM, THAT HE MAY RECEIVE GLORY…….. AND THAT WE MAY REAP AND HARVEST HIS BLESSING IN OUR LIVES AND IN OUR CHILDREN’S LIVES.
AMEN
