But Ye, Brethren...

2 Thessalonians 3:13
But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.

But Ye... But Ye... Brethren. Before you can understand this scripture you must understand that it's not to the world, but to the church people. It's not to the person in the White House, but unto you. It's not to the leader of the Hells Angels, but unto you. It's not even to the person sitting beside you in the pew or the one behind the pulpit, but it's to Ye!

Now that God has your attention listen to what He is trying to tell us. "Be not weary in well doing..." God doesn't tell us that we shouldn't be weary. Jesus himself was weary and sat on a well one time. Weariness will come in our lives daily. We come home from working a full day and all we can do is pass out every night because we are tired. Weariness will come!

But He says to not be weary in in well doing. Now some have never gotten tired of well doing, but I must confess that I have. So what is well doing? It is righteousness. It is seeking God or sharing God. He is reminding us today that we should not let ourselves get tired of seeking God. We should not let ourselves get tired of sharing God. Oh, but we do don't we?

The truth is that we all can become weary in serving and sharing. The reason for our weariness is that sometimes we depend upon our own strength and our own wisdom. God tells us that when we are laboring in the Lord that we must depend on the Lord for the strength. Today, put your strength away and rely on Jesus. Put away your wisdom and pick up His Word.
