September 1 - October 31 is Marion Medical Mission Well Season for 2021. The season will include daily devotionals - one for each day the U.S. volunteers are overseas, sharing the love of Jesus by providing safe, clean, sustainable sources of drinking water to the extreme poor in sub-Saharan Africa. Marion Medical Mission is one of our mission partners at Grace Presbyterian Church of Midland, Texas, and we STRONGLY encourage you to read these devotions to learn more about - and pray for! - their mission.

"Never Give Up Doing Good"
Vyalema Khosa
MMM Coordinator, Malawi

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at a proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9

This verse reminds me of how each of us goes through life, getting weary and giving up in many situations because we are looking for a reward prematurely. We are reminded by the verse that the condition for the reward comes if we do not give up doing good. God knows the proper time for our harvest. We must continue doing good in all situation that we come across.

In our work with people in villages we all at some point feel tired and resort to giving up doing good. In our daily work schedules as Coordinators, Field Officers, Installation supervisors, maintenance persons, builders, village committees, and USA volunteers, we feel we have worked hard enough and are not rewarded accordingly.

The word of God in Galatians 6:9 tells us at the right time your harvest will come if we do not give up doing good. I believe God will determine that reward for us... if we continue doing good.

The work of serving people with clean drinking water is not easy but we must not become weary, for we are serving God’s s people who are in need of our service.

Application Question: How can I fight the temptation of giving up in doing good in serving God’s people?

Prayer: Oh God, give me strength to better serve Your people without giving up doing good. I understand that many times I look for a reward even if the time for it is not proper. Help me understand Your will that only You determines the proper harvest at a proper time. Bless each one of us doing your work to serve clean drinking water to Your people. Give us strength not to give up doing good. Amen!
