	Did you ever wish you had a million dollars to use.. give..? Time magazine this week 
gave statistics on the modern day philanthropists. Bill and Melinda Gates... 22 billion!  WOW!  
But remember.. you are not responsible for what you don't have... only for what you do have. 
And that's true for your opportunities to witness and serve... Some of us get "tired" in body and 
spirit as we seek to serve the Lord with all our heart and might.  
	Here are some scriptural guidelines that will keep us on track in our service for the Lord... 
I.  THE COMMAND.. "DON'T BE WEARY IN WELL DOING.." 
  A. We Are To Be Busy In Well Doing... Not to be saved, however (Eph.2:8-10) 
	but because we are saved. 
    1. What kinds of "good works" ?
	- Whatever your hands find to do.. do with your might.. Dorcas, Acts 9:36 
	- Feed the hungry..  Mt.25:35 
	- Give drink to the thirsty.. Mk.9:41 
	- Minister to the poor..  Lu.4:18; 14:21 
	- Give away your faith..  the greatest thing you can do for anyone! 
    2. Why Do "good works"? 
	- Demonstrates the reality of our faith..  Jas.2:17,18 
	- Satisfying.. fulfilling.. (the wealthy people of our day) 
	- Glorifies God... Mt.5:16 
  B. We Are Not To Become Weary.. (to fail in heart) 
    1. We do.. defeat.. discouragement.. disappointment.. opposition.. 
    2. We Are to be always ready.. 1Pet.3:15 
    3. We are keep at it.. in season & out..  2Tim.4:2 
  C. We Must be "refreshed" 
    1. By others.. Aaron & Hur.. and Moses..  Ex.17:11,12 
    2. By our own devotion... 2Pet.1:4-8; 1Sam.30:6.. David.. 
    3. By the Lord..  Eph.3:16; 6:10; Col.1:11; 2:2; 
II.  THE COMPENSATION .. When We Keep On Keeping On... 
  A. We Shall Reap.. 
    1. The harvest is inevitable.. 
	- Whether good or bad..  2Cor.5:10 (we do reap as we sow) 
    2. The harvest is proportionate.. we must both sow and reap... 
	- Sow sparingly... reap sparingly..  2Cor.9:6 
	- Sow bountifully... reap bountifully 
	   - The more we reach out.. and share Christ... the more saved! 
  B. We Shall Reap In Due Season.. 
    1. It takes time from sowing to reaping 
	- Some are ready Now..
	- Some are "not yet ripe".. only way to know is to "share" 
    2. It takes patience.. keep at it.. 
	- Let your joy come from knowing Christ and your fellowship with Him.. rather than 
	   from your circumstances..  Neh.8:10 
III.  THE CONDITION.. "if we faint not".. give up.. quit.. 
  A. Some Have "Fainted".. 
    1. Jesus' parable of the soil and sower.. Mt.13:18 
    2. Paul said Demas.. (Col.4:14.. compare 2Tim.4:10) 
    3. Some "faint at rebuke"..  Heb.12:5 
  B. Some Have Followed Faithfully... HOW? 
    1. Day by day renewal of the inner man..  2Cor.4:16 
    2. Continual "waiting" on the Lord..  Is.40:31 
    3. Abiding as the branch in the vine... John 15 
    4. Moment by moment "filling" or control of the Holy Spirit  Eph.5:18 
ARE YOU "WEARY" MY BROTHER or SISTER?  
	IT IS TIME FOR RENEWAL !!
