Get the appDo Something—High Schoolনমুনা
The best part about living in modern times is how IMMEDIATE things are. Craving for donuts at 3 am? Have them delivered. Want to watch that 1980’s cult classic SCI-FI movie? Netflix has it. Wondering what the third song on Beyonce’s first solo album was? Google’s got you covered. It’s easy to get used to having what you want when you want it—which is great . . . until you actually have to wait for something. Then you realize how weak your patience muscle can get without any practice. When it comes to pursuing justice in the world around us, it can be tempting to want immediate results and to get frustrated and want to give up when we don’t see the progress we want. But in this letter to a church in Galatia, the apostle Paul encourages us to not get tired doing the right thing because chances are it will take time to make things right. Injustices aren’t corrected overnight, but don’t give up.
There is a harvest of blessing, Paul writes. Meaning the work we do, as tiring as it may feel, is not done in vain. Today, if you feel tired and want to quit doing good, choose to wait to see what God will do and don’t give up. You may be surprised by what can happen because of your persistence to do good.

We’re going to discover how much Jesus cares about injustice and how we can do something in response.
