Do Not Quit!
"But as for you, brethren, do
not grow weary in doing good."
2 Thessalonians 3: 13
Last December, Donzella Washington walked across
the stage to receive her bachelor’s degree in social work at
Alabama A&M University. She graduated magna cum laude.
At eighty, she became A&M’s oldest graduate.
“Even though there were a lot of tears and late-night studying
at 1 or 2 o’clock in the morning, I was determined. I never felt
like quitting,” she said. Now Donzella plans to work on her
master’s degree and volunteer at nursing homes.
We should guard against the desire to quit. Sometimes
we grow weary in the work, but we must never become
weary of the work the Lord gives us to do.
Galatians 6:9 says, “And let us not grow weary while
doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do
not lose heart.” Hebrews 12:3 warns of becoming
“weary and discouraged in our souls.”
God has done so much for us. We should never get weary
in doing good for Him. Make up your mind to stay enthused,
determined, and active in whatever task God gives you today.
Never grow weary in doing good. It’s always too soon to quit.
"Can we be casual in the work of God—
casual when the house is on fire, and people
are in danger of being burned?"
Duncan Campbell
