Just Hold On

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

Life, on this side of eternity, can be challenging.  We can get battle fatigued if we are not careful.  Trying to take care of family, dealing with varying personalities on the job, the lack of income, and increasing hostility in this world can be taxing.  In the moment there may not seem like there is a point in continuing to try do the right thing, but God wants us to hold on.

Even though others may not appreciate your efforts and you may not see the manifestation of your investment in faith right now just hold on.  God has declared that at the proper time, the best time, we will reap a harvest.  The seeds of faithfulness, love, peace, forgiveness, kindness, and gentleness will not go unrewarded.  You will reap what you sow( Galatians 6:7).

So in the meantime keep on praying. Keep on pushing forward.  Pull the weeds of negativity out of your garden.  Guard your hearts against the snakes and foxes that try to creep in and steal your joy and promise of a better tomorrow.  Prune your bushes in preparation for growth and water it with the truth of God’s Word and fertilize it with His Spirit and love.  Let His light continue to shine and when the rains come just know that it is only going to increase your harvest.  He will supply the increase and He will multiply our efforts.  

Be blessed.  Continue to hold on.  He sees you and will reward you for your faithfulness.
