When You Feel Like Quitting

S-Galatians 6:9-10

S-"So Christ has really set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don't get tied up again in slavery to the law." Galatians 5:1

A-God's Grace

L-Don't Grow Weary

"So don't get tired of doing what is good. Don't get discouraged and give up, for we will reap a harvest of blessing at the appropriate time. Whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone, especially to our Christian brothers and sisters." Galatians 6:9-10

Do you ever have moments when you throw your hands up and say, "I quit! This isn't worth it anymore."

I have, a lot!

Although I haven't really quit, I sure did voice my frustrations on how I felt.  It's such a God thing that this particular verse came when it did, because I was recently having one of these moments with the Lord and my husband.

The funny thing is, not only did I study this verse in my quite time, but our Pastor preached on something very similar, of which my husband was sure to nudge me in Church and say, "Are you listening? Your blog!"

Yes honey, I hear you and the Lord loud and clear.

Keep writing! Keep picking up after everyone! Keep helping in the family business! Keep teaching! Keep discipling! Keep working hard! Keep serving! Keep being kind, loving and encouraging.  Keep on keeping one!

God notices, God cares, its all about Him! Keep serving Jesus by serving others! Everything we do is for His honor and His glory, not ours!

SIGH

Now for the latter part of this passage. "Whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone, especially to our Christian brothers and sisters."

Brethren, no matter how ugly someone is, keep on doing what is good and right. Hold your tongue, love on them, serve them, and pray for them.

If you have the opportunity to do good to your negative co-worker. Do it! Even if they reply with something negative.

If you have the opportunity to do good to someone struggling with sin. Do it! Pray with them, share God's Word with them, encourage them, love them.

If we will do these things, at the appropriate time we will reap a harvest of blessing. Find comfort, perseverance, joy and hope in that promise!

S-Share an encouraging word with someone who is discouraged today.
