Ben Everson's song "Do Not Grow Weary," released in April 2024, draws inspiration from Galatians 6:9, which encourages believers not to become weary in doing good, promising that perseverance will lead to a bountiful harvest in due time.

The lyrics emphasize steadfastness in faith, urging listeners to persist through challenges, continue praying, and walk in the light. They acknowledge that while seasons of testing and moments of weeping may occur, enduring these trials leads to eventual blessings. The song encourages believers to focus on their spiritual journey, setting their hearts on the prize, laying aside sins that hinder, and trusting in God's faithfulness to complete the work He began in them.

This message aligns with the biblical exhortation to remain steadfast in well-doing, reinforcing the promise of reaping rewards if we do not give up.

For a deeper appreciation of the song's message, you might find it uplifting to listen to "Do Not Grow Weary" by Ben Everson.

Both "Do Not Grow Weary" by Ben Everson and "If We Don't Lose Heart" by Steve Green are based on the scripture Galatians 6:9. Here's the verse they reference:

Galatians 6:9 (ESV): "And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up."

Both songs encourage perseverance and remind us of the rewards that come with not losing heart.

"Galatians 6:9 let us not grow weary in doing good Although believers cannot justify themselves by their actions, good works reflect the love of God and have a central place in the lives of His people (Eph 2:10)."

-- Faithlife Study Bible 

Galatians 6:9. Be weary (ἐνκακῶμεν). Lit. Faint or lose heart. Comp. 2 Th. 3:13 ("As for you, brothers, do not grow weary in doing good.")

--Vincent, Word Studies in the New Testament
