And
ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.
Brethren:
Let
us strive to continue onward in not only seeking our Creator, but
likewise going forward in the preaching of the Gospel of Christ. In
addition walking in the ways of Christ, and as they say, walking the
walk. For if the those that are lost in the sins of this world see us
acting as they do, what will it profit them to seek God? We would
prove ourselves no better than the scribes and pharisees placing
burdens on men, while we act as if to us they do not apply. Finally,
do not seek the glory of your charity, but instead give all glory for
them to God, for He Himself will make note of all that you do for
others. Therefore today friends consider also these scriptures.
Isaiah 40:31, Romans 12:18, Galatians 6:9 - Dr. R.V.Z
“Generally
of all well doing, or of doing of every good work; which is well done
when done according to the will of God, in faith, and from a
principle of love, and in the name and strength of Christ, and with a
view to the glory of God: or particularly of acts of beneficence to
the poor; for though the idle and lazy should not be relieved, yet
the helpless poor should not be neglected. This the apostle observes,
lest covetous persons should make an handle of this, and withhold
their hands from distributing to any, under a notion of their being
idle and disorderly; or lest the saints should be tired, and become
weary of doing acts of charity through the ingratitude, moroseness,
and ill manners of poor people.” - John Gill
“The
Lord is with you while you are with him. See that whatever you do,
that is good, you persevere therein. Hold on your way, and hold out
to the end. You must never give over, nor tire in your work. It will
be time enough to rest when you come to heaven, that everlasting rest
which remains for the people of God.” - Matthew Henry
