Don’t Quit the Harvest

There are days when doing the right thing feels thankless — when you've given your best and the results just aren't showing up yet. I've been there too, and today's verse landed on my heart like a gentle hand on the shoulder. I think God has a word for you in it.

— Eric

“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
Galatians 6:9 (KJV)

Galatians 6:9 is one of those verses that finds you right when you need it most. Paul isn't writing to people who have given up — he's writing to people who are *tempted* to. That's a crucial difference. Weariness isn't failure. It's the signal that you've been faithfully showing up, planting seeds in soil you can't yet see bearing fruit.

The promise tucked inside this verse is breathtaking in its simplicity: a harvest is coming. Not maybe. Not if the circumstances cooperate. In *due season* — God's season, timed perfectly — you will reap. The only condition is that you don't faint. Don't walk off the field before the crop comes in. The race isn't over yet.

That phrase 'in due season' asks something hard of us: trust. It asks us to believe that God's timing is not our timing, and that His calendar is always right. The farmer doesn't dig up the seed to check on it every morning. He waters, he tends, and he waits — with confidence rooted not in what he can see, but in what he knows about the One who makes things grow.

Take It With You

Today, keep doing the good thing you've been doing — the small act of kindness, the faithful prayer, the quiet service nobody notices. God sees every seed sown, and He wastes nothing.

Prayer: Lord, when weariness creeps in, remind me that Your harvest is coming — give me the grace to keep going and the faith to trust Your perfect timing. Amen.
