Galatians 6:9
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.
If a farmer grew weary of pulling weeds, moving rocks, watering his fields, and caring for his crops, he wouldn’t have much of a harvest when the time came. That’s why Paul challenges us not to grow weary, but to keep planting, keep watering, keep doing what God has called us to do. That way we can look forward to the harvest He’ll bring in due time.

Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.
If you were going to run a marathon, you wouldn’t just lace up your shoes that morning and hope for the best. You’d spend weeks or months preparing so that when race day came, you were ready. And our faith needs preparation too. God calls us to spend time in His Word, not just so we can know more, but so that when opportunities come to encourage someone, answer a question, share the truth, or point someone toward Jesus, we’re ready.

Ecclesiastes 3:1
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.
According to Scripture, life comes with seasons. There are highs and lows, times of joy and times of sorrow, seasons that feel bright and seasons that feel dark. And since you’re not surprised when summer turns to Fall, don’t be surprised when you experience a change in a season of your own life. But just remember, that season won’t last forever.

Ecclesiastes 5:18
Behold, what I have seen to be good and fitting is to eat and drink and find enjoyment in all the toil with which one toils under the sun the few days of his life that God has given him, for this is his lot.
Here’s wisdom from the wisest man in the Bible. Solomon had wealth, power, possessions, and opportunities to experience just about everything this life had to offer. And by the end of his life, he had learned something important: worldly pursuits are fleeting, but godly pursuits give your life meaning.

Psalm 90:17
Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands!
When you work hard at something, you want it to matter. And that’s why Moses chose to look to God to give purpose and value to what the people of God were working on. We can all work hard, but ultimately it’s God that gives lasting significance to the work we do.

Matthew 11:28
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
It feels good to be invited. And Jesus doesn’t invite you into a relationship with Him by handing you a list of things to work on before you can come into His presence. He invites you to come as you are, weary and tired, and to receive His rest. Have you responded to your invitation?

Deuteronomy 15:10
You shall give to him freely, and your heart shall not be grudging when you give to him, because for this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you undertake.
When you know and trust that everything you have is from the LORD, it makes it a little easier to be generous. And since there will always be people on earth in need of help, take time to decide in your own heart how you can help those in need.

1 Timothy 4:10
For to this end we toil and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.
It’s all about training in godliness. According to Paul, godliness has value not just for this life, but also for the life to come. Now, it doesn’t earn us heaven, but it does help make us more like Jesus. And even though it isn’t easy, we choose to keep growing, learning, and pursuing godliness because ultimately, our hope is in Him.

Matthew 9:13
Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.
Jesus wanted to give the Pharisees something to chew on. These religious men knew the rules, but they were missing the heart of God. So, He reminded the ultimate rule-followers that God wasn’t impressed by their religious activity if their hearts weren’t reflecting His mercy.

Isaiah 1:17
Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause.
Once we’re completely done with school, that doesn’t mean we stop learning. There’s still plenty God wants to teach us about how to live in this world and how to do what is right. And He gives us some pretty clear things to focus on.

Deuteronomy 31:12
Assemble the people, men, women, and little ones, and the sojourner within your towns, that they may hear and learn to fear the LORD your God, and be careful to do all the words of this law.
When the Israelites were in Egypt, Pharaoh was a cruel and oppressive ruler. Then God delivered them. Which meant they needed to learn what it meant to trust and follow their covenant making God. And it started with bringing them together to hear His Word, learn His ways, and understand what He expected of them.

Psalm 119:73
Your hands have made and fashioned me; give me understanding that I may learn your commandments.
As a child, you go to school because you weren’t born knowing how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide. There’s a lot we have to learn as we grow. And the same is true spiritually. God made each one of us, but we still need to grow in wisdom and understanding. And one of the ways God gives us that understanding is through His Word.
