There are lots of scriptures where the Lord encourages us all to keep going, not to grow weary, to strengthen the weak knees, etc. Our loving Father understands us so well and He knows we all come under the attack of the enemy to be discouraged, to want to give up.
David experienced it in Psalm 27:13-14 but he fought back with these words "I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living. Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes wait patiently for the Lord. Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart: Wait, I say, on the Lord."
Doing good isn't necessarily doing good deeds but doing the right thing when the wrong thing is happening. It's keeping going in faith when symptoms or circumstances haven't appeared to change, or have grown worse. It's believing that God is, and always will be, a good God who wants the best for us and being willing to stand on His promises no matter how long it takes. David says four times to wait for, and on the Lord!
Paul tells us at just the right time we will reap a harvest if we don't give up. Giving up would be so easy, wouldn't it? But God has a 'right time' for you. He has placed His mighty Holy Spirit inside you and me, and He's made us of sterner stuff than that.😊 He has placed the Overcomer inside us, the Greater One, we are united with Jesus, the Mighty Conqueror, the King of Kings, the Lord of Heaven's Armies, the One who went to the Cross and Hell and back for us. He went through too much for us to give in or give up.
He calls us to keep going, He promises us a harvest of blessing when we do. So brothers and sisters, for anyone who is discouraged or tired or weary today allow these words to encourage, strengthen and infuse new hope back into your tired spirit. We will reap a harvest if we do not lose heart and we don't give up. God loves you so much. 😊
