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 give up.
Weariness does not usually come from doing bad things; it often comes from doing good things for a long time without visible results. Paul writes this encouragement to believers who were serving faithfully, loving consistently, and giving sacrificially—yet feeling tired, unseen, and discouraged.
In real life, weariness shows up quietly. A parent keeps praying for a child who hasn’t changed. A believer keeps serving, but no one seems to notice. Someone keeps choosing integrity while others prosper unfairly. Slowly, the heart asks, “Is it worth it?”
Paul answers with assurance: there is a proper time. Harvest does not come immediately after sowing. There is a season of waiting, watering, and trusting. No farmer digs up seeds every day to check if they are growing. Doing so would destroy the harvest. Faith requires patience with unseen growth.
God sees what people overlook. He records every act of obedience, every unseen sacrifice, every moment you chose good when quitting felt easier. The danger is not slow harvest—the danger is giving up just before it comes.
Weariness is human. Giving up is optional.
This verse does not promise instant results; it promises certain results—if we do not give up. Strength is renewed when hope is anchored in God’s timing, not human response.
Reflection:
Where are you feeling tired of doing good? Is God inviting you to keep going just a little longer?
Prayer:
Lord, You see my weariness and You know my heart. Strengthen me to keep doing good even when results are unseen. Help me trust Your timing and not give up before the harvest comes. Amen.
