don't be weary

Galatians 6

Outline

v1-2

Discipleship

v3-5

When you're going to help somebody else overcome sin, make sure you're doing what's right yourself.

v6

Give good things to the people who teach you in the Word

v7-10

Don't get tired of doing good

v11-15

Circumcision is about making a show, but really being a new creature is about living by the cross.

v16-18

Blessings and suffering like Jesus

Key v9

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

I'm really tired right now, and sometimes it seems so pointless to try to do all my work. It seems like I won't succeed, and it seems like even if I do succeed, that it won't do any good. I'm tempted to not get up in the morning in the first place, or, once I have, to just lay down and go back to sleep. I'm tempted to waste time and be lazy.

Application

I'll just do the best I can, because when it's the right time, I'll be glad I did.

Turn Your Eyes upon Jesus

By Hel­en Lem­mel, 1922

O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There’s a light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free!

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.
