Galatians 6:9 Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary. 10 So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.
"Then those who feared the Lord spoke with one another. The Lord paid attention and heard them, and a book of remembrance was written before Him of those who feared the Lord and esteemed His name. “They shall be Mine, says the Lord of hosts, in the day when I make up My treasured possession, and I will spare them as a man spares his son who serves him. Then once more you shall see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him."
"But then things wouldn’t have time to really come together in the exact ways God has ordained from the beginning". Now you are getting into deep "theology". I am reminded of this statement from a book by the Reverend Fleming Rutledge, "God permits what God does not intend".
We are not meant to suffer alone!
Jesus showed His vulnerability when He asked His disciples to pray with Him at the garden. Matthew 6:38
“Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.”

Malachi 3:16-18 (ESV)
"Then those who feared the Lord spoke with one another. The Lord paid attention and heard them, and a book of remembrance was written before Him of those who feared the Lord and esteemed His name. “They shall be Mine, says the Lord of hosts, in the day when I make up My treasured possession, and I will spare them as a man spares his son who serves him. Then once more you shall see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him."
Do not be weary in well doing 🙌🙌🙌 this one is on repeat for me !
“Don’t grow weary” suggests that you MIGHT grow weary because of the amount of evil people that appear to be prosperous despite their deeds.
Sometimes we just want to reap rewards FASTER and see evil come to ruin FASTER 😂
But then things wouldn’t have time to really come together in the exact ways God has ordained from the beginning. SIGH. This is dying to yourself.
We WILL grow weary. The One who is in us is never weary!
His judgment is just! Glory, Honor, and Praise to Him, whatever the outcome!
Because we cannot know how things will appear to the world. Disaster? Maybe. Unpleasantness? Maybe.
"Job . . . WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I LAID THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE WORLD?"
Job: "<crickets>"
Job: <puts his hand over his mouth>
Poor Job had to face the limitations of his own mind when questioned by God.
Romans 8 is so full of profound encouragement and powerful wisdom.
