I don't want to do the right thing!

Doing the right thing is hard! It is tiring, at the moment it does not seem very rewarding, people do not appreciate it…sometimes I do not want to do the right thing! Of course, God has something to say about this. Here are the verses:

Galatians 6:9-10 – And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

Do you ever get tired of doing the right thing?

-“And let us not be weary in well doing…” Sometimes I feel like it is not worth it, like I am wasting my time and I just want to give up and do what everyone else is doing. But we are told that if we faint not, if we do not give up, if we keep going, if we are faithful…we will reap. We do not know when, maybe here or maybe in heaven, but we are to rely on God’s strength to continue, and in time (God’s time…not ours) we will see the results of our labor for Christ. Don’t get weary in well doing!

When should do you do the right thing?

-“As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good…” So when should we do the right thing? As we have therefore opportunity…whenever we have the chance. But this does not mean we sit around and wait for the opportunity to pop up. We need to be looking for opportunities to help and be a blessing. Ask God to help you look and see the opportunities to do good!

To whom do you do the right thing?

-“…unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.” Unto ALL men? Yes…that means the ones we love and the ones we do not love so much. There are just some people that are so easy to get along with; then there are just some people that really make you want to throw them into a river. But we are to do good unto all men. How can we show the love of Christ if we only help certain people? Romans 2:11 says “For there is no respect of persons with God.” God loves all, we should too. At the end of verse 10 we are told “…especially unto them who are of the household of faith.” Many times we are hurt, by our own brothers or sisters in Christ. We need to forgive them (even if they never ask for forgiveness) and continue loving them. If we do not show love to our own brothers and sisters in Christ, how can we show love to the world that is lost? Do good to ALL men!
