Our text is perhaps more relevant now than when it was penned. Our world is busier that ever and yet there is a increase in frustration in our efforts. It has been said that we have to start well to end well. Often lost in that sentiment is that we have to finish in order to finish well. We all grow weary in our journey. There seems to be times that no matter how hard we strive with good work, we cannot see the success of our labor. Being weary in our work is not far from any of us. Paul knew this truth so he warns the Galatian church to not get tired of doing right. As humans, if we do not see results, we are want to give up. Paul warns us to continue our efforts even when we seem to be making no progress. If we look around our world and see men who are not living right seem to prosper while those who live right do not. This attitude speaks to our faith. It takes faith to continue when our effort seems to make no difference. We become weary because in our human existence we look for success in the short term. God's definition of success is not limited by time. Even if we do not see the success we seek in our lifetime, we must press on so that God's purpose is served. In our outreach or in our services, our human nature is to judge the results by how many people show up. Bro. Hughes shares a story of a young preacher who did that, but missed what God was doing. Reaching even one can have an affect on hundreds. The bible says to sow the seeds, and God will provide the increase. We get weary because of our narrow view of life. Things do not happen as quickly as we thing that they will. God works. He will work more slowly than we expect, but he WILL work. If we will endure, we will reap. There are times that we grow weary because there is a lack of appreciation for our efforts. No one sends a thank you note. No one acknowledges what we are doing. Jesus Himself healed broken bodies and cleansed leapers but received no gratitude. Jesus was not doing it for them, but to bring Glory to God. It is no different for us. No matter what we put our hand to, we do it for God. Human nature is to be critical. We can get weary when the only acknowledgement we get is criticism. Criticism: it happens at home, it happens on the job, it happens in church. We can grow weary when we misunderstand God's way. None of us would have chosen the path our lives have taken. The truth is that the trials and issues in life lead to the blessing that we all seek. God's way is not easy to understand but the bible tells us that if we stay faithful, we will reap the reward that He as for us. In due season we will reap if we fail not.

Last week we determined that there are "good works" that God has for us to do as an expression of our love for Him. But what do we do when those "good works" start becoming burdens? This week we will be looking at Revelation 2 and the idea of "protecting our first love," and how that simple life goal can act as a catalyst for life! This goal does not promise a life free of difficulty, frustration, questions or disillusionment, but it does promise "Hope" in the middle of it! Come join us this Sunday for an honest conversation about our life of "doing what God has called us to do!"
