Galatians 6:9 ‘And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.’

DAILY READING; Luke 20:27-47; Genesis 37; Psalm 28•

The California Gold Rush was the largest mass migration in American history. The Gold Rush which began on January 24, 1848, caused a mass immigration of approximately 300,000 people to California. The sudden population increase made California to grow rapidly to statehood.
During this period, an astounding amount of gold was mined from the ground in California and a number of fortunate gold miners became quickly rich.
Among these fortunate miners, were two brothers, John and Daniel Murphy who had arrived in California in 1848 and struck gold within days. In a year, they mined $1.5 million worth of the precious metal, which is about $40 million today. The town of Murphys, California, is named after them.
However there were other two brothers who were not so fortunate. A popular story says these two brothers had also come to California to prospect for gold. They had discovered a vein of gold and then proceeded to the serious business of getting the gold ore of the mine. All went well at first, but then a strange thing happened. The vein of gold suddenly disappeared! It seemed they had come to the end of the rainbow, and the pot of gold was no longer there. The brothers continued to dig further, but couldn’t seem to trace the vein of gold anymore. They were thoroughly disappointed, their hope of becoming overnight millionaires was dashed. Disgusted, they gave up digging and planned to return back home. Someone else bought their equipment and claim rights for a few hundred dollars. As the brother took the train back home, the new person picked up digging from where the brothers left off. And just three feet deeper, the new owner struck gold!
A little more persistence and the two brothers would have been millionaires themselves. But they gave up too soon.

Galatians 6:9 says ‘And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.’

Indeed there is a reaping for us when we refuse to give up too soon. It doesn’t matter how long you may have toiled in the past, if you refuse to quit, it is only a matter of time before you win.
Many times, we miss out on God’s best because we gave up too soon. And some of the times we feel the need to give up, may have been when we were closest to our victory.
If we don’t get answers to our prayers immediately, we often get tempted to stop praying. But then oftentimes too that could have been the point when the tides were just about to turn. The truth is that you are never a failure until you quit. Persistence eventually wears down resistance, this is why you should not give up no matter the trials that sometimes come your way.

2 Corinthians 4:17 [NLT] says “For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!”

Indeed to see the manifestation of glory in our lives we must be persistent. Do you know that a little acorn eventually becomes a mighty oak tree, when it refuses to give up? Likewise, to manifest as sons of God we must persist through the process of growth.
No matter what we go through, it is all working for our good. In every situation, let’s continually bless God and let His praise always be on our lips.
As we draw close to the end of this year, some people may feel tempted to become weary because they have not yet seen the kind of results they had hoped for. But then never forget that we serve the God of 11th hour miracles.
God is going to surprise you. You may have been digging for long, but suddenly, out of the ordinary, God will cause you to strike gold. God will exceed your expectations and amaze you with His goodness. You’ll see amazing favor, health and increase as God causes His blessings to flow towards you. But the secret is never to give up. Keep trusting God in all situations. Surely, if you don’t quit, you will eventually win.

PRAYER; Lord I thank You for granting me the grace to keep pressing forward. By Your grace I will not be discouraged nor give up. And as I keep praising You, I know indeed my miracle is on the way in Jesus Name.
