Doing Well-Doing Well

The "well-doings" of life just might be my greatest challenge! The endlessness of well-doings is exhaustive. Its repetitiveness is exasperating. Is there no relief from well-doings?

The well-doings of life are important to God. In Galatians 6:9 we read about these well-doings, "And let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap if we faint not." Oh, I've nearly fainted many times when I passed by the boys' bathroom, and I've suffered near loss of consciousness at the sight of the kitchen in my extended absence. God encourages us to not grow weary, but instead be strengthened and inspired. Yes, there is promise of rewards for our perseverance in being faithful and committed to Christ in all things -- even the little things. G. MacDonald writes, "It will soon lead you to something more. Your duty will begin to comfort you at once, but will at length open the unknown fountain of life in your heart." In God's perfect time we begin to understand the demands of these otherwise tiresome tasks. Whatever and however well-doing comes to us, let us be faithful in ... doing well-doing well.
