861 Keeping Your Heart Part 4 - Galatians 6:9

Do you have trouble with delayed gratification?   Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary. Galatians 6:9   Have you ever noticed how every single person is searching for the good life. Some of us work extra hard and save our money hoping to buy it. Others take drugs or drink trying to get it now. Even more want it in a job or a spouse, or by trying to change something about themselves.   Jesus came that we might have life, (John 10:10). We're each on our own universal pursuit to gain life. We want the promise of joy, peace, blessing for ever. Not just for a day. It's baked into each of us. God put it there. We were created for it.   But when the reality of the broken world hits us, we lose heart. Here Paul is reminding the Galatians not to give up. If we do not grow weary, we will receive the reward.   As believers we're called to focus on the reward so we can hang on until the end.   Today, can you have an attitude of confidence in our position and our Lord so that you're free to be a blessing to others? Our job is to live like we know Jesus so others might come to know him too.
