Do Not Be Weary In Well Doing



In the Bible, the book of Galatians chapter 6 verse 9 tells us not to be
"weary in well doing", that in "due season" we will reap if we "faint not".
This verse is an incredible encouragement to those who are trying to serve
the Lord, but maybe wondering if it is all in vain. So much of the time,
the
work we do for the Kingdom goes without notice, without fanfare...no
television cameras, no media coverage. It is the day in, day out work of the
Kingdom done by God's people, mostly one on one with other people. If you
read the Gospel accounts of the life of Jesus, you will notice that is the
way most of His ministry was conducted, one on one.

The game the enemy plays with us is to tell us that what we are doing is of
no consequence, that we are just working in vain. Nobody really changes,
nobody really hears, nobody really cares. My friend, that is a lie straight
from the pits of hell itself. NOTHING you do for the Lord is in vain. I'll
give you a perfect example. God showed me at the start of this internet
ministry that He would let me see less than 1% of what we were doing in the
lives of people, that over 99% of what was happening we would never know
about. You see, this ministry, like other ministries and works of God, are
but tools that God uses to effect His plan and purpose. We never know or
see
exactly what is taking place. But all God asked us to do is be obedient,
not to understand, just be obedient.
