Keep on Keeping On
And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Galatians 6:9
I have made a lot of mistakes in my life and have so many things to regret, but this Sunday the best thing I have ever had a part in will celebrate his birthday. Happy Birthday Vann.
I decided to raise radishes one year and planted them in a very nice place in my back yard. Being about ten at the time I was very anxious for them to grow so I kept pulling them up to check on them and to make sure their progress was good. By the time harvest came I had only a few that had not been ‘killed’ by my effort to encourage them to grow.
I am certainly please that God does not do us that way. I am sure there are times when He wishes to snatch us up by the hair, but thankfully He gives us another day and another opportunity.
In a world that is unfair and makes a lot to do over those who do a lot wrong it is very easy to become discouraged and give up, just stop. His word says don’t: keep on and in time the harvest will come.
