Verse Of the Day
Galatians 6.9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not
Continue To Do Good
Do you remember the last time you were completely exhausted? Maybe you spent your entire day or week working on a hard project. Maybe you felt depleted after helping other people in your life. Or maybe hard situations and setbacks made you feel like giving up. All of us grow tired at some point. Paul, the writer of Galatians, knew that the people he was writing to would also become tired of the work they were doing. During Paul’s time, there was a lot of persecution and hurting people, and Paul was writing to encourage them in the work they were doing.
Yes Good People Get Tired Sometimes
Inside Paul’s encouragement to the Galatians is this truth: Even good people will tire of doing good things. That’s why Paul encourages everyone to continue to push forward in doing good. We must persist in assisting others, spreading the hope of Jesus, and striving to live according to God’s will. God knows that we’ll eventually grow weary. And when we grow tired and frustrated, we’ll probably begin to question why we’re doing any of this to begin with. (Maybe you’ve already asked yourself this.)
And For You My Dear Youth
Galatians 6:9 encourages us to persevere in doing good things. Similar to how a farmer must work diligently to plant crops and wait months before the actual harvest, Paul says there will be a harvest for those who do not give up. Just like the Christians in Galatia, we must persevere in living godly lives and helping those around us. If we do not give up, Scripture says there will be a reward for us. We may receive that reward during our time on earth, or in heaven—but regardless of when we receive it, we should persevere in doing good.
Be of Value From Today
That means that your work matters. There is value in how you live and love others. So spend some time today considering the good that you have done and can continue to do for others. Who can you help? Who can you share the hope of Jesus with? How can you continue to persevere in living a godly life? If you’ve grown weary or defeated, commit today to never give up. Choose to persevere through whatever season of life you’re in, knowing there will be a harvest for those who finish well.
Prayer
