The
other day I was having a conversation with my daughter on a particularly
difficult day for her. Many things that she had hoped would work out were not
coming together and she was getting frustrated. She asked me why when she is
doing what is right why things were not working out for her and those that are
doing wrong everything seems to always work out for them. We know things don’t
always go well for those doing wrong but there are times when, in our life,
that it sure feels that way. I reminded her to be grateful for the good that
God has given her. That compared to many throughout the world she would be
considered blessed and many would love to trade places with her.
I
told her to persevere and that God admonishes us to not get weary in doing what
is good (Galatians 6:9). And yes at times it seems easier to cheat, or lie or
simply give up or give in to the pressures of life but whatever seed put out
there shall reap a harvest. What harvest do we want to produce? Although, life
may be difficult now and things are not going your way God has promised to care
for you and help you through the difficult times (Isaiah 43:2).
How
can we carry on? By believing that God has a plan and a purpose for all that
you are going through. Continue to do what is good and know that evil people get rich for the moment, but the reward
of the godly will last (Proverbs
11:18).
