Trust God and Do Good

Scripture

Let us not grow weary or become discouraged in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give in. - Galatians 6:9 (AMP)

How can you be joyful when you’re facing hardships? The answer is simple: Do something good for someone else! Psalm 37:3 says, Trust in the Lord and do good...(NIV). Giving of ourselves releases joy in our lives and enables us to be happy while we wait for God to meet our own needs.

In this week’s scripture, the apostle Paul also encourages us not to get tired of doing good. We don’t have to focus on our problems all day long in order for God to give us answers. Tell Him what you need and then trust Him to provide while you go about doing good for someone else. The truth is, people who are focused on helping others are the happiest people on earth!

Make Someone’s Life Better

Has God ever asked you to help someone who you did not want to help? Discover the joy of helping others.

Tip

“Every time we do good, we are sowing a seed that will release our own harvest. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that you have too many problems of your own to help other people.”
— Joyce Meyer
