I have a little Bible app and every morning, I write down the daily passage and reflect on it in a little notebook I have. It’s usually a page or two. This morning’s was Galatians 6:9 — “So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.”
Well, to begin with, that’s a good one to get on a Monday morning. It particularly spoke to me today. I am very tired and feel like my faith has waned a little bit. So the little boost of encouragement is very much appreciated.
Good timing free Bible app. Good timing.
Then I dove deeper into the scripture and thought, “what is ‘good’?” The Devil is in the lack of details here. So that’s my mission today – Figuring out what ‘good’ means to me and cutting out the rest of the things I spend my time on that isn’t so ‘good.” I am no theologian but I bet that would help me be less tired. Find the good in your life and chase it with reckless abandon. It’s separating the wheat from the chaff. Focus equals power.
Of course, the passage ends with how we reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up. I’d imagine that the pursuit of good itself is a harvest of blessing in itself. But that is a good place to end this and to start the week:
Don’t give up.
