If you don’t push through the Mondays, you never get to Tuesday. And if you keep going, Tuesday leads to Wednesday, and Wednesday leads to Thursday, and Friday, and finally, the weekend!  However, if you don’t push through, the weekend never comes!

 A Monday may not be your favorite day of your week, but it is necessary to accomplish your purpose. We can’t give up. To reap the rewards of a weekend, we must keep stepping forward and doing good through the week.

  I have had a front row seat to watch my husband do just this, for the past 5+ years. He set a goal to get his doctorate, and never looked back. He never stopped researching, and writing, and revising, and submitting, and revising some more! The waiting process for doctoral committee members to read his work, call for revisions, called for great patience and endurance. He never gave up and he never stopped working. But the frustration of working and the tedious cycle of revisions brought many “Mondays” into his life. 

  The verse that rings true for the incredible amount of work that he did, and set an example for me is: “Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will REAP a harvest, if you do not give up.”  

Galatians 6:9.

Last Wednesday, he reached the pinnacle of his hard work, diligence, and doing good in never giving up. He defended his dissertation, and he passed! He will receive his doctorate! He will reap the benefit of his hard work, perseverance, and long suffering.

I am one incredibly proud wife! But I am also one incredibly impacted child of God. I am thankful to him for the example he has set for me to live out this verse in my life, to never give up, to continue striving and doing good, so that I will reap a harvest of the benefits when I do!

The steps that we have to take in order to thrive are not easy. But I believe that God wants us to thrive, and He will enable us to do so when we do not grow weary in doing good: the good that He has for us!  So, if your week was easy, or if your week was hard, don’t give up! If your week felt like a week full of Mondays, don’t give up! Keep on doing good! God will help you thrive in 2025, if you do not give up!

You will reap a harvest, if you do not give up!
