“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.” Galatians 6:9-10 (ESV)
We are all susceptible to getting tired. Today's verse is an encouragement to not get tired of doing what God has given us to do, that is, doing good and not evil. Our thoughts, words, actions are all watched over by God. He has a purpose he has given to us and we persevere in that purpose. When we believed and received the free gift of forgiveness and eternal life, we were bought into God's family. This is the result of our salvation bought by the sacrifice Jesus made for us on the cross. As children of God and members of His family, God wants us to show this relationship by our actions toward other members of this great family. God wants us to do good, especially to other believers and to not get tired doing good. We are promised a reward if we persevere. Be on the look-out, be alert for the opportunities to do good to everyone. Be especially intentional of doing good for the brothers and sisters in Christ who are part of the family of God.
