Verse of the Day 2/25

Galatians 6:9-10

New King James Version

9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

Our Men's Bible study is currently going through a series about Jesus' miricacles.  The read through the Bible plan that I follow is now in the book of Mark and is also going through some of His miricalces.  It has always amazed me how the Pharisees were looking to trap or "get Jesus" by breaking the law of the Sabbath in healing someone.  As I read the passage in Mark 3 about healing the man with the withered hand several other verses and passages came to mind including today's verses.

Genesis chapter 12 is another one where God told Abraham that he was "blessed to be a blessing (Genesis 12:3). Being a blessing is "doing good" when we have the opportunity to do so and we shouldn't be hindered from doing good by considering what others might think.

I was also reminded of the old hymn, "Make Me a Blessing", may we "give as was given in time of our need".

Out in the highways and byways of life,   Many are weary and sad; Carry the sunshine where darkness is rife,   Making the sorrowing glad.
	Make me a blessing, make me a blessing, Out of my life may Jesus shine; Make me a blessing, O Savior, I pray,   Make me a blessing to someone today.
2	Tell the sweet story of Christ and His love,   Tell of His pow'r to forgive; Others will trust Him if only you prove   True, every moment you live.
3	Give as 'twas given to you in your need,   Love as the Master loved you; Be to the helpless a helper indeed,   Unto your mission be true.

Blessings,

Mike

Galatians 6:6-10

New King James Version

Be Generous and Do Good

6 Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.

7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. 9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
