Galatians 6:9

“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”

Just a little encouragement on this Wednesday morning…

You have been doing well, don’t give up!

Don’t allow frustration or timing stop you from doing what God has called you to.

The definition of frustration is the feeling of being upset or annoyed, especially because of inability to change or achieve something.

You may have a feeling of frustration because those around you may not have noticed the hard word and effort you are putting forth to accomplish. Or you may not have gotten very far despite the hard work. Or no matter how hard you have worked, there is still so much more to do. Things are just not happening fast enough.

This leads us to timing. Be definition, timing is the the choice, judgment, or control of when something should be done.

Most of the time we would like things to happen right away. However, when things happen is not in our control, that is God’s responsibility and privilege. Because you know the effort you have exuded, we want the reward of that effort right away. Like it is our right.

We all must understand that a lot of the times things don’t go as planned. We don’t always get the type of reward we were after. People don’t always listen, or receive what we are saying. They don’t always believe or support us.

But despite all that, now is not the time to give up!

God has called you such a time as this. You we built to be able to withstand in this evil day. You were built to thrive in spite of everything. The gifting and calling God has on your life is needed today. You cannot give up – people are depending on you (whether they know it or not).

This is not about you getting accolades. Or feeling good about your self for what you were able to do. It is about accomplishing your assignment. Your God-given assignment.

God has placed enough trust in you to give you the gifts and talents. He expects you to use them to his glory. To reach his people and share the good news of the gospel. To reach those who are lost. All in that unique way that is you.

Stop trying to mimic or be like so and so. God gave you the assignments and qualified you to accomplish them. He even gave you the desire to do the work. His expectation is that you do it in the spirit of excellence, improving as you grow. He does not expect you to stop when it gets hard. This is a song of immaturity.

Now is not the time to give up!

Stop, settle your self, and rest (recharge) in praise and worship. When you come out you will be strengthened to keep fighting the good fight of faith.

Remember, you were built for this! You can do it, you can make it. You ARE making a difference.

Just don’t give up!

Have a blessed day!
