Stay the Course

Galatians 6:9 “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” This week’s focus is technically on physical health but it can be translated to any aspect of life. In your journey to living healthy, there will be seasons of growth, seasons of maintaining and even seasons where you feel like you are regressing from the progress that you made. The key thing in any of these phases of life is to stay the course. When things are getting hard, stay the course. When things are stressful, stay the course. Even when you need a break, stay the course. Do not give up or give in to the thoughts of quitting. Quitting on yourself will only make you feel worse about your current condition. Thoughts to give up only come from a want to be comfortable. However, that comfortability is a catalyst to regret and resentment.

Isaiah 41:10   “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Life can get rough and as you go through the trials of it things can seem like they will never get better. Even worse than that, it often feels as if God is doing nothing to help get you out of your current situation. Often times it is our own fault that we remain stuck seeing no progress in life. For whatever reason, there are a lot of believers in Christ who will not get up and begin to work on the things that God has given them. Even worse we will sit in a place of discomfort and frustration refusing to move and do what God has authorized us to do to change our situation. Instead, we are sitting on purpose and skills waiting for God to work a miracle. We choose to remain stuck in our sorrow.
