At The Right Time

At The Right Time
 
People that do "good," or  that strive to do what they understand is God's direction for them typically are not doing that because they expect some reward.  However, it is interesting what Paul writes in Galatians 6:9,10 "So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.  Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone—especially to those in the family of faith."
 
I think there are two messages for us in this verse.  First, we will receive blessings for doing good.  Second, the blessings will come at the right time for us.  We may hope and pray for certain things, but they may not be good for us now.  If we keep striving to do what the Bible teaches, and not give up as Paul says, God will give us the blessings we need at the "right time" for each of us.
 
Dear Lord, we know you are watching each of us, and know our needs and desires.  Help us keep doing your will, being blessings to others.  Thank you for blessing us in your time.   In Jesus' name we pray. Amen
