"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." Galations 6:9
Today, after a long weekend of busyness, I must admit that I'm feeling a bit weary. But, I love the hope this verse gives us - at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we don't give up! If I follow God's plan for my life, I know that good things are coming in His 'proper' time. By His amazing grace, this past weekend I hit an all-new low weight in my journey, and I fit into a new smaller pants size. I walked out of the mall all but giddy, thinking of how much the Lord has done in my life over this past year. God brings the reward for continuing to do good, which some days is simply putting one foot in front of the other and continuing to trudge along this weight loss path even if we are feeling weary. May He receive the glory for the harvest we will reap!
Lord, we confess that there are times we want the harvest NOW instead of at the proper time. I always love instant change, but I know there are things I'm learning in this process, things about myself and things about You. Father God, please help us when we feel weary. Give us the strength and motivation to continue on this path, and help us remember that a harvest awaits us just around the corner. We love you, Lord Jesus. In Your name we pray, AMEN!

thanks for this blog val! and congrats- God is so good to us
ReplyDeleteVal, I just catching up on the blog. Boy, we this post timely. After doing everything "right" with my eating and exercise last week I actually GAINED a pound! There is no scientific explanation. I believe God simply was testing my heart. "Will you obey me even when the results don't look like you want them to look? Am I enough reason for you to do what is right?" It has been a hard lesson...but one that makes me fall on my face before God with hope and love and faith. I will wait for my change to come.
