There are times when we’re tempted to give up when things aren’t happening the way we think they should be. Often enough, we throw in the towel and lose all hope.

But I like how the scripture says in Galatians 6:9, “Be not weary in well doing, for in due season we will reap a harvest of blessing if we faint not.” That word faint in this context simply means to give up. It encourages us that, just when we feel like throwing in the towel, there is a harvest of blessing waiting on us if we continue to press on and not give up.

It’s so easy to look to the left and to the right and see the current situation. It’s so easy to fall prey to those negative thoughts that convince us that progress is too far out of reach. But if you’ll just keep doing your work for the Lord, in just the appointed time, you will see the fruits of your labor.

I like to call it the road runner mentality- that means you’re giving it all you’ve got but it just doesn’t seem like you’re moving forward. You’re kicking up nothing but dust from under your feet but it seems you’re getting no where. Be encouraged, my friend! Don’t be discouraged by what’s happening around you. Keep pressing on regardless. The scripture says the race is not given to the swift, neither to the strong but to he who endures until the end!

You see, God won’t give you an assignment that is too much for you to bear. It may be a tall order but there is no order too tall for God. And with God on your side, you can accomplish anything. You can do all things through Christ which strengthens you.

So I encourage you to set a good pace for yourself. You’re in it for the long haul my friend. Change your frame of thinking! God has given you a winner’s mindset. I believe if you keep pressing forward and don’t give up, God will carry you into a higher dimension and you will see an over-abundance of blessings as you charge forth on your journey of life!
