What You're Doing Matters

☕ Coffee on the Rabbit Trail: Don’t Quit — What You’re Doing Matters
Sometimes, life doesn’t shout at you to give up.
It just quietly piles things on until you feel like you can’t go any further.
A little setback here. A distraction there.
A delay, a disappointment, a discouraging word.
Not enough to break you in half — but just enough to wear you down.
And if you’ve ever felt like everything in your life is trying to pull you away from doing something good for God…
You’re not alone. And you’re not imagining it.
There’s a real enemy who would love nothing more than to see you stop short.
But here’s the truth:
If God called you to it, it’s worth continuing — even when it’s hard.
Distractions Will Come
Good things don’t always come easy. Especially not the eternal ones.
Whether you're trying to live in obedience, step out in faith, serve others, share the Gospel, or just walk closely with the Lord — don’t be surprised when distractions show up.
And not all of them are loud or dramatic.
Some are just life things.
A busy season. A tired body. An unexpected detour.
But whatever form it takes, don’t let it convince you that your mission doesn’t matter anymore.
Because it does.
Don’t Let Discouragement Have the Final Word
Discouragement has a sneaky way of trying to rewrite the truth.
It’ll whisper things like:
-
“You’re not making a difference.”
-
“You’re not strong enough.”
-
“It’s too late now.”
-
“Nobody notices. Why bother?”
But the enemy is a liar.
God is not done with you.
Your obedience still counts — even when it feels small.
And your faithfulness, even in quiet, private ways, is part of something far greater than what you can see right now.
You are not behind. You are not forgotten. And you are not disqualified.
Keep Pressing Forward
No matter what is coming against you right now — don’t stop doing what God has called you to do.
Keep praying.
Keep sowing truth.
Keep showing up with love and humility.
Keep standing for what’s right, even when it’s unpopular.
Keep walking in obedience — even when it’s slow-going.
Because what you are doing, in obedience to God, is greater than the pressure trying to stop you.
And remember:
Faithfulness is not measured by how easy it feels.
It’s measured by your willingness to keep going — even when it’s hard.
You’re Part of Something Eternal
The work of the Kingdom doesn’t always look dramatic.
Sometimes it looks like being consistent.
Sometimes it looks like choosing joy when things are uncertain.
Sometimes it looks like one prayer at a time.
One act of kindness.
One step forward.
But heaven sees what’s being built — even when you don’t.
“Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
— Galatians 6:9
Final Word of Hope
If you're in a season where everything seems to be trying to stop you…
Let this be a gentle reminder:
Don’t quit.
Don’t shrink back.
Don’t believe the lie that it’s too late, too small, or too broken.
God is still working.
Your obedience still matters.
And hope is never wasted.
So go ahead and press forward — not in your own strength, but with confidence that the One who called you is faithful to finish what He started.
Even if the trail gets long — keep walking.
Even if the path feels unclear — keep trusting.
Even if progress feels invisible — keep believing.
What you’re doing, for God, is worth it.
