Galatians 6:9 KJV
"Let us not be weary in well doing; for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."
When a farmer planted his seeds on the acres, does he see the sprouts grow overnight? Does he get harvest in one week? No! A farmer knows it takes months, not days, not weeks. He cultivate the soils to soften the soil for the water to go through easily. Soon the crops grow better. Also to prevent the weeds from choking the newly sprouts. Does the farmer get tired and quit? No, he doesn't. He waited for the harvest from his labors.
Do you ever get tired doing the work for Lord? Like helping others, teaching class, preaching God's Word, giving money to church and others in need? Do you ever become weary of doing things for the church and for others?
God's Word says, "We must not become tired of doing good. We will receive our harvest of eternal life at the right time if we do not give up. When we have the opportunity to help anyone, we should do it. But we should give special attention to those who are in the family of believers" (Galatians 9:10 NCV).
Chorus: We'll Work Till Jesus Comes.
We'll work till Jesus comes,
We'll work till Jesus comes,
We'll work till Jesus comes,
And we'll be gathered home.
(Elizabeth Mills, Sing His Praise)
Let us not be weary in doing the Lord's work!

Come Forth As Gold
Jan 4 2011 Bread Box
Job 23:10b ". . . I shall come forth as gold."
Time to pay bills! Irritation! Dust in the apartment! Annoying! It gets to my nose! Tony teased, "maybe your nose lost its' filters." Very funny! Boxes full of stuff! Need cleaning! Nuisance! Many things to do! Can't get it done! Ahhh!
Then God quoted to me what Job said, "When He tried me, I shall come forth as gold." The meaning of the word, "tried" in this case actually meant "to melt down" and get into a pure state (position).
All these irritations were to "melt me down" and to become gold? Awesome! So Job was right, "God knows the way that I take, and when He tested me, I will come out like gold" (Job 23:10 ncv). The word, tested means to examine the quality of our faith in God. God encouraged me that He will lead me in time to do one thing at a time. Faith in Him increase the quality of pure gold.
At the end of all testing, Job's trust and faith in God came out the best. So finally Satan's challenge to God that Job would cursed God, "lost." God smiled at Job and blessed Job double portions of what Satan had "stoled." Awesome?
So trust God today! We shall come forth as gold.
