Weariness
ยท And let us not be weary in well
doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Galatians 6:9
I love this verse. Its a great reminder for those days when we feel we're on the hamster wheel, not getting anywhere and wearing ourselves out as we endlessly spin around. It's not always easy to follow God's will. Not because God demands too much of us, but because the course isn't a straight, flat line. There are obstacles to jump over. Hills to climb. Curves to navigate. Valleys to claw out of. Mountains to scale. We have periods of ease, periods of struggle, and periods of great difficulty. But through all of it God's promise holds true--we shall reap (our reward in heaven) as long as we remain strong. Where do we find that strength? Through Jesus.
'Til next time,Kathleen
Thank you for your post this morning. I am so weary at the moment and yet I know that I am doing what God has planned for me at this moment in time, caring for my four grandchildren while their parents get a much needed vacation. All of us have been sick for the past three days. My "can do" just can't keep up with my "want to". I wanted this to be a memory making time but right now getting well before Mom and Dad return is our main goal. I'm weary but drawing strength for the day from Jesus.

I sure needed this today. When I sat down at my computer, I said Oh God, I am so tired.

Thank you for this post on the "well-doing" verse, Kathleen. It is the verse that keeps me going when I'm too tried to even think as I care for 3 elderly parents and try to keep my family and writing career going. It's a wonderful, wonderful comfort.
