Do good

And let us not grow weary in well doing for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith. – Galatians 6.9-10

Do good to all – how simple does that sound? Why is it so hard then to do good?

There can be a lot of reasons. For one thing we may be so occupied with ourselves that we don’t see the others who needs our good. We also may just be selfish with our time or money or resources. The person we like doing good to the most is us.

Because we are not to get weary in well doing we ought always seek to do good and do it at every opportunity to the best of our ability. Of course this includes doing good by sharing the gospel, but it is much more than that - it is just doing good by being there for people and meeting needs and being Christlike in our dealings. He always went about doing good.

We are to be doing good to all men – but especially to those who of the household of faith. We have brothers and sisters in Christ who need us. We need to be aware of that and be there for them in their time of need. None of us should ever have to suffer or do without when we have each other to do good.
