Isaiah 49-51, Galatians 6, Psalm 145: 8-13
Galatians 6: 9-10 (ESV)
“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season
we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do
good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.”
In verses 9 and 10 from Galatians 6, Paul writes to the
churches in Galatia to not lose heart or become discouraged from doing good. He
tells them you might not see immediate results, but you need to trust in Father-God’s
timing that you will see that you have contributed to Father-God’s plan for
yourself and humanity. Paul tells them that they need to continually do good to
everyone at every opportunity, and especially to their brothers and sisters in
faith.
I found these verses comforting in light of last week’s news
of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. No matter how much craziness and ugliness
we sometimes see in the world, we need to always do good and treat everyone
well. We need to think of how Jesus Christ would have reacted and treated
people at a time like this. I’m also grateful to have a church community around
me with whom I can talk to about what happened and share in our collective grief
over this tragedy. It’s hard at a time like this to think of continuing to do
good in the face of the evil that was committed, and the aftermath of some
people celebrating the murder of this amazing Christian man. But as Paul told the
Galatians, we need to continually do good because we know that Father-God will
help us in our efforts and we will one day know that our efforts were not in
vain, and they helped to further Father-God’s plan for us and for the world.
If you enjoyed reading my thoughts on these Bible verses,
and you want to always do good in the world with the help of Father-God to help
you through your faith in Jesus Christ, please pray this prayer out loud:
Heavenly Father, I want to give you my Life. Forgive me of
all of my sins. Wash me in your blood. I believe in my heart You raised Jesus
from the dead. I confess with my mouth Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Right now,
I receive forgiveness by the blood of Jesus. I am saved, I am forgiven, I am
clean, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of
Father-God! Do yourself a favor and find and join a Holy Spirit filled, full
Gospel, Bible-based church where you can hear the words of Father-God preached
and experience signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.
