Day 2 - DO!!! So lets not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we dont give up. (Galatians 6:9, NLT) This scripture was really encouragement for me today! But feel free to glean. Because not only can we apply this scripture to spiritual things but we can apply it to every area of our life. Anyway, determined to get back on track and lose the birthday vacay weight, the grief weight, the holiday weight and all the other weight, I started back working out with my ole girl, Leslie, today. She’s still tough and I swear I wanted to tell her some things!!! But I’m seriously working on a better me, thank the Lord! Well after only 12 minutes in, I wanted to quit!!! :-O Want the results most definitely, but wishing there was some other way besides me CONSISTENTLY making an effort and DOING the work, DOING my part. No doubt, we want to reap the blessings, the benefits, the harvest...of great health, great relationships, great success, etc. But if we are real with ourselves for just a moment, we’ll admit that we aren’t consistent or persistent; nor do we put our whole selves &greatest effort into getting it done and seeing that thing to the end so that we may reap that harvest. We’ll put a little ‘that’ll do’ time in, get tired and quit, then sit back and expect great results! Now how absurd is that!!! Unfortunately dear ones, a little ‘that’ll do’ time just won’t get it. Trust me….I’ve tried…more than once! So please allow me to spare you some disappointment if I may. The key word in this scripture is DOING, implying continuous action. So pray for strength to not faint or quit, but rather continuously do. And just as God said, you will reap that promised harvest!!!
