Galatians 6:9

“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

Have you ever felt exhausted while serving?

Felt burned out, even when you’re doing good?

I have.

But weariness is not new.

Moses was overwhelmed and cried, “I cannot carry this burden alone.”

Jeremiah felt crushed by rejection and persecution and cursed the day he was born.

Elijah did great wonders, yet hid in fear and wanted to die.

Even Jesus sighed deeply and said, “How long shall I bear with you?”

Yet every one of them finished the work God gave them.

How? Because they did not shift their focus from God.

Their focus was on pleasing Him above anyone else.

Their focus was on faithfully carrying out His will, not on a platform, not on recognition, not on results.

And when emotions, thoughts, or problems overwhelmed them, they didn’t run away from God, they ran to Him.

They prayed instead of complaining.

We too must keep faithfully loving, serving, and teaching, even when we face rejection, criticism, or mocking, because that’s we are called to do.

Yes, they grew weary, but they never lost heart.

Why? Because God was their portion.

God was their strength.

God was their inheritance.

He was the One who kept them going.

So don’t give in to weariness.

Don’t let your emotions or thoughts be poisoned by the enemy.

Remember, God chose you for this.

He appointed you for this.

And He has supplied you with wisdom, knowledge, strength, courage—and His grace is sufficient.

Don’t quit.

Turn to Jesus.
