Today I sat in church and gazed across the congregation only find the drowsy eyes and sleepy nods of many normally attentive church goers. Nothing against the gentleman preaching today, but the message was a bit “everywhere” and for a lack of a better description, the message was boring. It came from Galatians 6:6-10. I know this because I take notes. It was rather hard for me to follow the message therefore not many notes were taken. There was one point nevertheless that stood out in this scripture. It was verse 9 “And let us not be weary in well-doing; for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not”. In other words “Don’t get tired of doing the right thing because we will be rewarded if we don’t give up”.
Sometimes we all have to be reminded not to give up. We need to be reminded that doing the right thing... is …. well...right. I watch basketball wives (shameful confession) and I am always left wondering why do they seem to have everything their heart’s desire and they are so evil. I really do not understand it. Then the holy spirit reminds me of just how unhappy they really are. These women spend most of the show arguing, and they all go home alone. They all have been subjecting to cheating husbands or boyfriends. The only thing they really have is “money” and “friends”. Yet, their situation just always seem better than mine. Here I am, busting my butt day in and day out. I pour my all into the Jesus C.O.U.sin ministry everyday. I am constantly trying to help others. I spend more time giving than receiving, yet they are the ones “living the life”.
To read that passage today was what I needed. I was reminded through that one passage to never stop doing the right thing. I should never stop giving nor should I stop helping. Reality TV is not a reality at all. Reality is I spend my days trying to make God happy through worship. I know that my good deeds will be rewarded. Sure, I would love a brand new range rover or a nice million dollar condo overlooking the city of Charlotte, but I would much rather I have entry into heaven.
I encourage you to keep doing the right thing and not give up. You will reap what you sew. God sees you and He knows your heart. I believe that God is pleased with my works, the question is can you say the same?
