Galatians
6:9
"And let us
not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give
up." ESV
Growth is a
process that happens from a starting point and increases in stages until full
growth is achieved. If we have repented of our sins and have accepted Jesus
Christ as our Lord and Saviour, we will by His nature, be doing those things
that are good. Being human, the enemy of our soul will plant seeds of doubt into
our minds when we do not see the fruits of our efforts. We tend to allow those
seeds of doubt to grow until we become weary and decide it's not producing
anything worthwhile. Our next likely step is to just give up. This is not God's
will for us. It is up to us to overcome those doubts by the power of the Holy
Spirit. Then we can keep doing good and, in time, see that we were making ready
a harvest for His kingdom.
Heavenly Father,
we ask Your forgiveness for those times we have allowed doubt to cause us to
give up. Help us to nourish our faith to be able to overcome the doubts that nag
at us. Give us determination and yielding to the Holy Spirit, so that we will
not give up. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.

I can't imagine giving up, but it's true that the devil's favorite tool is doubt. I'm planting my feet, holding on to God's truth and am determined to never, never give up!
