Don’t Lose Heart

Paul and Timothy knew that even in light of the remarkable things God does on our behalf, it’s easy to lose our motivation to keep on keeping on. To those living in that tough, real-life place, Paul encouraged, “Do not lose heart”:

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. (2 Cor. 4:16–18 NIV)

Some Bible versions translate the phrase “don’t lose heart” as “do not give up” or “don’t grow weary”—don’t become discouraged or be spiritless, despairing, exhausted, or faint. I wonder if you feel weary today. I wonder if you know all too well the bone-tired exhaustion that comes right before we throw in the towel. God knew we would face the kind of discouragement that makes us consider quitting. That’s why he made sure in his Word to include several reminders not to lose heart. He knew we would be tempted to.
