Things will get better

"And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart."                                         Galatians 6:9   NKJV

You may have been going through difficult times just lately and, when this happens it's hard to believe that things will get better; but they will! Remember what King David wrote in Psalm 23:4, 'Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.' This verse doesn't only address the subject of death but, any difficult experiences in life. It's comforting to know that God (the Shepherd) doesn't go before us or behind us, but He goes with us, 'For You are with me'. God intends to get us through the difficult times and He takes our hand and leads us.

With that positive note in mind, we need to realise that during the time it takes God to change matters, we need to stay afloat. This is not the time to give up and sink, not at all. There is also a promise within our text for today that reads, 'we shall reap'. Note this; it doesn't say, 'We might' or 'there's a possibility things may get better.' It doesn't say that, it says, 'we shall reap'. Therefore, instead of sinking, Jesus has thrown us a life line. Rather like if you were drowning and someone threw you a rope, you would need to grab it to survive; Jesus has thrown you this promise, grab hold of it.

The sun will shine again in your life. Where it may be a gloomy existence for you at the moment, God is moving and His intention is to take you with Him. So, 'Do not lose heart' v9. When you lose heart it is like you are empty, there appears to be nothing left to live for. 'What's the point?' The point is, you are special to Jesus; you may not feel like your are, but it's a fact. Why else should the King of kings call you His friend? (John 15:14-15). Why would He do that unless, He considers you special. He also said, 'These things I have spoken to you, that in Me, you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world  John 16:33. Notice, He has overcome the world and that includes your difficult situation. They're history so, just accept that things will get better!
