Galatians 6:9 "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap if we faint not."
Don't you just love traveling with kids in your car? It doesn't matter if you are going 10 minutes or 10 hours the ride always seems to bring the same questions and comments. Are we there yet? I have to go potty. I'm hungry. I'm thirsty. When are we going to be there? She's looking at me! Stop touching me! WOW! - that can be very wearisome.
You know something though? The Christian life can be very similar to taking a trip with kids. The only difference is we are the kids. We are the ones who are constantly complaining to God about how we are not getting what we want out of our trip. We tell him about the people bothering us, and about our physical needs. Now don't get me wrong, it is okay to talk to God about these things, it's just that all of those types of things are what is making us so weary most of the time. Just imagine how much fuller our fellowship with Him would be if we were not so weary with the journey.
Now our verse tells us not to get weary. Because if we get weary and fall asleep, we may miss the harvest. We are going to make it. We must keep going, and don't allow our selves to get discouraged along the way no matter how so and so looks at us or not. Keep going, you're almost there.
