Momentum for Monday

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 
-Galatians 6:9

I stumbled upon a blog where the blogger picked a bible verse to memorize and meditate on at the start of each new year. Galatians 6:9 is that verse for me in 2008. While it can easily be applied to a multitude of situations, I feel it most acutely applies to parenthood. Do not become weary, do not give up, wait for the harvest.

    I guess something was translated poorly, because last I knew one didn’t really have an option in becoming weary.

    Perhaps it meant “do not become disheartened when doing good fails to show a favorable outcome”?

    I do like Becca’s version more, however GalaxyQuest is more exciting:

    “Never give up! Never surrender!”

    I so needed to read this today, right now. Thanks

    I think this verse is exactly like the GalaxyQuest line, with a little extra on the side. Physical and emotional weariness are just part of the human package, but I see this verse as a rallying cry to bolster the spirit. Never give up, never surrender! : )
