Galatians 6:9
Our text passage is clear that we should not be weary in doing the good we have always done so as not to lose our reward or harvest.
Every good thing we do is an investment and it is noted by the God who created the heaven and earth, the God with whom all things are naked/transparent/made plain/visible.
Weariness means losing heart, to become discouraged, tired, to have reduce courage.
Tiredness and fatigue leads to loss, it robs us of our opportunities and time.
When we are tired we don't see a bright future, we don't see opportunities and we struggle to keep on top of things.
For this reason the enemy of our souls uses fatigue as a weapon.
He wants you to be weary, weariness makes us give up.
He brings fatigue into our lives by trying to wear us out.
Daniel 7:25
Satan tries to wear down the saints of God (the church/followers of Christ).
He does this by oppressing them, persecuting them, and intimidating them.
He has been given a moment in time to do so.
Such times call for strength, spiritual strength.
Ephesians 6:10
We survive times like this by putting on our spiritual armour.
Ephesians 6:12-18
When the enemy targets an individual, a family, a church, a community or society that's warfare.
Strength and preparation is needed in warfare.
Strength is available to us in God and God gives strength.
It was strength, angelic strength that made Satan lose his place in heaven.
Revelation 12:7-9
Hand your warfare over to God, it's the way to win.
1 Peter 5:7
Ask for strength from the one whose grace turns weakness into strength.
2 Corinthians 12:9
We prepare for tough times, dark times, the end-times which are times of warfare by having the right mindset.
The mindset of a military man is different to that of a civilian.
We are warriors and military officials of the cross, warriors of the kingdom of God, spiritual soldiers.
2 Timothy 2:4
In tough times rest well, eat well, and get enough sleep, make time for activities you find entertaining and fun.
This helps you pull through the rough journey and helps your mental health.
Even God refreshes us with His presence.
Acts 3:19
Renewing our mind is so important.
It is the reason we meditate on the word of God, it changes our mindset.
Romans 12:2
Renewing the mind with God's word strengthens us mentally, prepares us for the seasons of our lives, and helps us navigate our way effectively during warfare.
