“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9 (ESV)
Staying Strong in Faith
Life often feels like a long road where our efforts to do good seem unnoticed or unrewarded. Galatians 6:9 encourages believers not to lose heart. Paul reminds us that persistence in righteousness—whether through kindness, service, or faithfulness—will bring a harvest in God’s timing.
God’s promises often unfold slowly. Just as a farmer patiently waits for crops to grow, we must keep trusting that our acts of love and faith will yield fruit in His perfect season.
The Principle of Spiritual Harvest
“For whatever one sows, that will he also reap.” — Galatians 6:7 (ESV)
Every word, action, and choice plants a seed. Some seeds bear fruit quickly; others take time. But God assures us that if we continue doing what is right—helping others, forgiving, and serving Him—He will bring a harvest of blessings and eternal reward.
Ways to Keep from Growing Weary
- Stay connected to God through prayer.
- Spend time with fellow believers for encouragement.
- Remember past victories where God rewarded your faithfulness.
- Focus on serving others without expecting instant results.
Examples from Scripture
The Bible gives many examples of perseverance.
- Noah built the ark for years before the flood came (Genesis 6:22).
- Joseph endured years of hardship before becoming a ruler in Egypt (Genesis 41:41).
- Jesus endured the cross “for the joy that was set before him” (Hebrews 12:2).
These lives show that endurance brings blessing and purpose.
Encouragement for Today
Doing good is not always easy. Sometimes it costs us time, comfort, or recognition. But God sees every act of faith. When we press on, we mirror Christ’s love to the world.
“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.” — Hebrews 10:23 (ESV)
Keep going. God’s timing is never late, and His reward never fails.
