We may wonder “What’s the
use?” The more we try to do good, the
more opposition we face. We pour our
lives into trying to make things better, but nothing seems to change.
Take heart. God is in control. The seeds we sow today can grow into a bountiful harvest tomorrow, even if we may not be around to see it. If we let go of our striving, our Almighty God will empower us to keep us from getting tired, and He will bring about the good results we so earnestly desire. (Psalm 46:10)
“Have you never heard?
Have you never understood?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of all the earth.
He never grows weak or weary.
No one can measure the depths of his understanding.
He gives power to the weak
and strength to the powerless.
Even youths will become weak and tired,
and young men will fall in exhaustion.
But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength.
They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not faint.”
(Isaiah 40:28-31 NLT) [1]
“Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up. Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone—especially to those in the family of faith.” (Galatians 6:7-10 ESV) [2]
