Be Not Weary

Galatians 6:9 "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."

The Message says: "So let's not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don't give up, or quit. Right now, therefore, every time we get the chance, let us work for the benefit of all, starting with the people closest to us in the community of faith."

I felt this verse so strongly this morning. Sometimes as Christians it seems like we are standing under a tent with the tsunami of this world's system coming straight at us. On the news this morning I heard someone say that the Republican party needed to be more tolerant. What they wanted to say was for them to give up their convictions and the things they stand for. It wouldn't be politically correct to say it so bluntly. We are salt and light to this world. It's definitely not always popular but we CANNOT compromise!

Romans 12:2 "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
