Don't Lose Heart Read: Galatians 6.1-10 Bible in a Year: Ezra 3â5; John 20 In due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Galatians 6.9 Cooking can become tedious work when I do it three times a day, week after week. I get tired of peeling, cutting, slicing, mixing, and then waiting for food to bake, grill, or boil. But eating is never tedious! It's actually something we truly enjoy even though we do it day after day. Paul used the illustration of sowing and reaping because he knew that doing good can be tiring (Gal. 6.7-10). He wrote, Let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart (v.9). It's difficult to love our enemies, discipline our , or pray without ceasing. However, reaping the good we have sown isnât tedious! What a joy when we do get to see love conquering strife, or following God's ways, or answers to prayer. While the cooking process can take hours, my family usually finishes a meal in 20 minutes or less. But the reaping that Paul talks about will be eternal. As we have the opportunity, let's do what is good and wait for the blessings in God's timing. Don't lose heart today as you go about following God's ways. Remember that joy is guaranteed for more than a lifetime. Dear Lord, help me not to become weary of doing good today. I'm thankful that some day I will be with You for a joy-filled eternity! Keep running the race with eternity in view.
