In Due Season

SCRIPTURES OF THE DAY

Galatians 6:8 & 9
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

At times we may get discouraged and feel like giving up on doing the good that we have been accustomed to doing. We may feel unappreciated and even unloved. We may feel as though we are the only ones giving and we never or rarely do any receiving. If that is you today, please allow me to offer you a couple of points from our scripture passage this morning.

POINTS TO PONDER
1. What are you sowing to? your flesh or your spirit? 
    It is easy to get discouraged when we neglect to feed our spirit man. There are things in life that keep us so busy but these things are corruptible. We must 
    take time to feed into our spirits. We must make a daily deposit into Bible reading, prayer and quiet time with the Lord. 
2. God has not forgotten about you. Your season is coming if you hold on. You must not faint and give up. If you find yourself weary, cry out for help. God is a 
    very present help in the time of trouble. Refocus, regroup and get back to doing those things that you know God requires and have called you to do.

In conclusion, let me remind you that God sees all that you do, all the efforts that you exert and all the burdens that you bare. Be encouraged to know that they are all on record in Heaven. You may not be getting your just do here on earth by man but God has an account with your name on it. Now, I am not saying that you must wait until you reach Heaven to receive. No, you will reap rewards here on earth as well however; I do want you to look to God for your rewards and not man. 
Get out of that slump and call on the name of the Lord God who is able to renew your strength and revive your spirit. Begin to speak to yourself and as David did encourage yourself. Hold your head up and understand that your new season is on the way. This season of discouragement stops today. Walk into your new season. A season of victory, joy and peace. 
My friends, my prayer for you today is that God will overshadow you with His love, that you will feel the anointing of the Holy Spirit pushing you into your season of newness and revival.
