The Commandment Against Weariness
Galatians 6:9
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.


Why is weariness deprecated?

1. It invites failure. The task set us is listlessly performed; interest flags; no great results are expected; mechanical routine gradually steals into the holiest service. Our attitude conveys no inspiration, but rather depresses,

2. It may forfeit the reward. Only by waiting and persevering to the end does the toiler secure his harvest.

3. It dishonours Christ.

(St. John A. Frere, M. A.)
