What Do I Do When I Don't See The Fruit Of My Labor
Dec 30, 2021Really excited to be sharing part two of this question, we ask ourselves, when we know we are doing the right things, the right activities… and we are not seeing the fruitfulness of that. What do we do when we don’t see the fruit of our labors? We read in Galatians 6:9 where God gives us some very specific information on what we should do.
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
If you do not quit, in the right season you will reap the harvest. Last week we went over when He says, do not grow weary or discouraged in doing what is right, that gives us firm instruction that becoming weary or discouraged is a choice. It is a choice that you have. And it is a choice that I have when I’m in the middle of doing what is right and I am not seeing any of the fruit of my labors. There is a mental decision allowance that will allow myself to become discouraged or weary or choosing the opposite. I know some of you are out there having done the right things for 3 months, 6 months, a year or even longer… Don’t be discouraged and do not become weary.
We’ve all been there; whether it was a diet, exercise plan, or this or that… and in this case, we are talking about creating your best life. It. All. Takes. Time. But in your mind you’re telling yourself, I’ve been doing this and nothing is changing. I am not seeing the fruit… And becoming discouraged is a choice that all of us make. And here’s how it works. The first thought that comes to our mind is Man, this just isn’t working and I’ve been at this for sooooo long. Then you might think, what’s the benefit? These thoughts are the seedlings, if you will. The seeds that come in that form those thoughts of being weary in your heart and in your mind. And it is in that moment you need to take those thoughts captive, God says that in Corintians chapter 10. Take. Those. THOUGHTS. Captive.
God is promising, you do not allow yourself to become weary and discouraged in doing the right things because in the right season, YOU WILL HARVEST IF YOU DO NOT QUIT. When we quit, we allow weariness and discouragement to come in and quit doing what is right and the consequence is not seeing the harvest of those actions. And right there that choice and decision to keep on that path is a requirement for creating your best life. Because often what happens is when we try to start a business or a process to change the way we think, there will be obstacles that will get in the way. And I have this process in the book that is called the creation sequence and I know when I start doing that there will be obstacles, because we are going to face giants in the land. And we have to stop those initial thoughts and take them captive. God promises that when you keep doing those right behaviors, harvest time will come… As long as YOU don’t QUIT.
Now I grew up on a farm, many of you know that. And maybe like me you know what it’s like to plow a field. Plow the field, plant the seeds, and water the field. You take care of the field and then after a while, you expect to be able to harvest. We have to understand that these significant changes of creating your best life are patterns of getting the correct thinking. Getting words and thoughts correct and beginning to go down a different path, many of you might live in the place of negative thoughts, thoughts of fear… it is time to take those thoughts captive. Let the right thoughts reign in your heart and in your mind and that will get you to creating your best life.
Maybe you are asking… What thoughts do I need to take captive? How do I take those thoughts captive so that you can begin to create your best life? That is a process and a pattern that can be done. Do not allow yourself to let those negative thoughts guide you and do not allow yourself to become weary or discouraged because God has promised that in the right season you will reap the harvest and continue to create your best life.
