Never Weary?

Galatians
6:9-10
(NLT) – Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper
time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.  Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do
good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
 
The
sequence of thoughts that grab my attention in this verse are don’t get tired,
don’t give up, keep using every opportunity to do good.
 
Those
are the cheerleader thoughts.  Go
girl!  But the reality is that we DO get
weary.  We push hard, go strong and get
worn out.  It’s fact.  But does it have to be?  Is it because we depend on our own strength
and abilities instead of trusting God? 
Is it because we have an intermittent connection with God?
 
When
I am filled with the Holy Spirit I have seemingly supernatural energy.  In order to feel this surge of power I must turn
my focus toward God.  This takes
intentionality and time, whether it’s time in His Word or opening my eyes to His
world and my ears to His guidance.  It
could take 5 seconds or 15 minutes, but it is always worthwhile.
 
Sometimes
the thing I don’t have time for is the most beneficial overall.  (click to

Does
the scripture imply we’re to always be energetic and enthusiastic?  Is that possible?  How can we maintain a balance of soul
nurturing and service to others?
