DO RIGHT EVEN IF EVERYTHING IS WRONG

“Let us not be weary in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not lose heart” (Galatians 6:9).

Have you ever been somewhere where you tried to connect your cell phone or laptop to the internet, but couldn't because the signal was weak? It's frustrating, isn't it? So it is also with our faith.

There are times in our lives when we seem to have lost our connection with God. We pray, we read the Bible, and we do everything we can to please the Lord, but nothing seems to change. However, the verse above encourages us to continue doing what is right, even without any sign of improvement, because in God's time we will reap his blessings.

Many people question God, “Why don't you speak to me? Why doesn't he give me the answer right away?" But not everyone wants to accept and understand his way of acting.

God needs us to learn to live by faith. That's how He did with the men of the Bible. We need to adapt to his time, because if we want immediate solutions, we will soon be frustrated. We need to trust in His character and faithfulness, because only then will we be blessed and we will know how to manage everything He puts in our hands. That's why so many times God acts in silence, because he needs to test our faith and mature us.

“(...) Do not give up the confidence you have, it will be richly rewarded. You must persevere, so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised, for soon, very soon “He who is coming will come, and will not delay. But my just shall live by faith. And if he goes back, I will not be pleased with him.” But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved” (Hebrews 10:35-39).

This text shows us that in order to achieve the promises, we need to do the will of God, persevere and not retreat. How many people fail to be blessed because they give up prematurely? So if you are discouraged, choose to trust what God's Word says, rather than relying on your feelings.

Faith is not based on emotion, but it is an act of believing that the Lord is good, faithful and He will never leave you!
