Philippians 1:1-6 Paul
and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus
which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
2 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father,
and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
4 Always in every prayer of mine for you all making
request with joy,
5 For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day
until now;
6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which
hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
Galatians 6:9 (NIV)
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will
reap a harvest if we do not give up.
It’s easy to feel discouraged when good intentions result in
pain. But it helps to pause and thank Jesus for his promise to complete his
work in the lives of all those who follow him. (See Phil. 1:4-6.) With this
promise in mind, we can persevere in doing good for others — as Jesus has
commanded.
Thought for today: Can I look to God for the strength to
continue?
