Don't become weary of doing good, for in due season you will reap a harvest of blessing if you don't give up. Paul wrote these words to the church thousands of years ago. Yet, I find it still as rich and powerful and applicable to my life today.
How many times have I wanted to just quit? Quit on this diet, this journey that is ever so long towards Health? If I said daily perhaps that would be overly dramatic and an over exaggeration of the truth. Yet, that desire to quit comes more often than I would like.
Well the evidence is all over the scale and staring at me from the mirror. I am reaping alright, exactly what I have sown. I have sown to the flesh - Doritos, Rice, Potatoes and lots of sitting down time. In response my harvest is tight clothing, an extra chin and a bulging belly.
Truth in the house today.
So yes, quitting has presented itself as an option. However, I am not going to yield to it or accept it's alluring invitation. I want better. I want health. I want a slimmer waist line. I want success.
So as Paul said don't give up and I won't. I will not get weary or tired. I will get up again so help me God!
Father God help me please to live this out! Help me to not get weary of doing what is needed to be healthier and stronger. I lean into you oh God. In Jesus name Amen
