Galatians 6:9 And let us not GROW weary in well doing for in due season we will reap if we don't give up.
For the first time, I really noticed the word "grow" in that verse. Notice it doesn't say let us not become weary...as if being tired is sinful. Grow weary seems to indicate that we may have some control over how weariness overtakes us, similar to growing plants. Paul may be reminding us that when we first notice weariness, to do something about it so it doesn't grow and overtake us, making us want to give up.
I allow my weariness to grow when I don't take enough time for rest. When I spend too much time on the computer or social media. When I set expectations for myself that are unrealistic. When I don't sleep enough, drink enough water, or make time a few times a week for intentional exercise. Are you letting your weariness grow?
