Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the
proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9 (NIV)
No one wants to work long and hard only to find at
the end of all his or her efforts – nothing has been accomplished. This would cause anyone to become
dissatisfied, disappointed or discouraged. However God promises that this will never happen if we
continue to do what He has called us to do without giving up.
Some years ago, I use to minister to inpatients at
a drug and alcohol abuses center.
It had been four long years of hard work when I started to question
whether or not the work we were doing was even making a difference. Then one day, while some friends and I
were out and about, a woman came running after us and stopped us. She wanted to share her testimony. She said she had been
in and out of drug rehabilitation centers for years; then, one day, I walked in and preached the Word of God and it changed her life forever. Since then – she has been cleaned for over a year and has been going to
church every Sunday since.
Today be encouraged that whatever you do for
God – it reaps a harvest. You
may not realize it – until over a year later, like I did – or it may not ever come
to light. Just know an abundant harvest is produced through your continued obedience to God.
