And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Gal 6:9
This particular word, shifting, has been in my spirit for awhile; however, I shelved it because it just wasn’t time. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose... and God is always working for our good and in our favor… Amen? So now, is the appointed time. I wrote about the changing of seasons earlier this year which turned out (I’m seeing now) being the prelude for today’s love.
Naturally, I think of how excited I get because I realize that we will soon be transitioning or shifting into a new season, summer, which is my favorite time of the year. However, that excitement cannot be compared to what I’m experiencing in the spirit right now, especially, when I know that God is about to shift our seasons. According to the dictionary, to shift is to move or transfer from one place or position to another; to change in direction or position (now that alone will preach!). When I think about this shifting, I also get so excited, because I am anticipating what God is going to bring to fruition in our lives.
In this passage, Paul exhorts the Galatians by telling them, “let us not be weary in well doing.” I cannot tell you how many times I’ve been told that by way of a prophetic word. Honestly, I had to "get" it because I give my all when it comes to working for the Lord and it gets hard at times to deal with the many obstacles when you know what God has put in you for the ministry. I know that it sometimes seems as if it is too much to bear, oh but when I think of the purpose God has for my life, I come to myself and I get back on track. Encouragement is so important during our journey because if we are honest with one another, we do get discouraged, tired, exhausted, worn out, burned out, drained and disenchanted from the problems, the trials, the situations, and the circumstance of life. Our work in the church and our purpose for the ministry should not cause us to become weary or weak. We must remain prayerful and remember where our hope lies; it is not in man, it’s in God.
At some point, we have to come to terms with the fact that what we do is for God and for the ministry and not man. The scripture tells us in I Corinthians 15:58, “be you steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as you know that your labor is not in vain.” Only what you do for God is going to last, so don’t get weary, keep it pushing, keep on going, hang on in there, and do not give up! Our timing is not God’s timing because the timing and the seasons are appointed by God and only He controls them and only He has the power to change them. So we have to wait until our change or our season comes.
I am compelling you today to continue on in this journey with much fervency, dedication, commitment, and obedience to God. Our season is about to shift. He is going to transfer us from one place and position us in another; thus shifting us into our new season of purpose. I wished I had coined the T.D. Jakes phrase myself but nonetheless it has the same effect when I say we better, “get ready, get ready, get ready!
Until the morning, be blessed,
Cynde
