Don’t Give Up on Doing the Right Thing

BY RICK WARREN — JANUARY 16, 2020

1.9K

“Let us not get tired of doing what is right, for

after a while we will reap a harvest of blessing
if we don’t get discouraged and give up”
(Galatians 6:9 TLB).

If things don’t happen right away or when you

think they should, that doesn’t mean you should
quit. You need to be diligent and have endurance.

The Bible says, “Let us not get tired of doing what

is right, for after a while we will reap a harvest of
blessing if we don’t get discouraged and give up”
(Galatians 6:9 TLB).

25/2/2020 Don’t Give Up on Doing the Right Thing - Pastor Rick's Daily Hope

Is there something you feel like giving up on? Maybe it’s your marriage. It seems like it’s just
dead and going nowhere. Maybe it’s your career. You’ve tried and tried and tried to make a
di erence, and it just isn’t happening. Maybe you feel like giving up on a dream or a goal—or
even yourself.

Here’s an important thing to know. A thousand years before you were born, God knew that
you would be reading this today, so God could have me say this to you as a friend: Don’t give
up.

The tunnel may seem extremely dark right now, but there is always a light at the end. It may
be just around the corner! You are known by God, loved by God—and you have a purpose
that God designed you uniquely to ful ll.

Don’t think what you’re doing doesn’t matter. Don’t give up on doing the right thing. Don’t
think anyone would be better o without you. Those are lies from the mouth of the Devil
himself. Remember what God has said about you. Remember that he wants to bless you.

Don’t give up. Look up to God. Find a spiritual family—a church and a small group—to help
you through the tough times. Meditate on God’s Word for encouragement.

Most of all, don’t give up on God. He will never give up on you!

Talk It Over

What do you want to give up on today? Why does it seem like a dead end to you?
How can a spiritual family, such as a small group, help you through dark times? How
have you been able to provide that kind of encouragement to someone before?
Is there a “right thing” you’ve been doing that has just worn you out? Why might God
want you to keep going?

Give hope, prayer, and encouragement below. Post a comment & talk about it.
