Galatians 6:9-10
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper
time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have
opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to
the family of believers.
I believe today’s passage offers an important encouragement:
don’t give up!
You might feel worn out, or you might wonder if you’re accomplishing any good thing for the Kingdom. But be reminded that outcomes are not in our hands and God has promised that good things are to come if we continue to be faithful. We are sowing the seeds that God promises to harvest.
We are sowing the seeds
that God promises to harvest.
I just had to repeat that for us.
If you are finding yourself lacking the energy or strength
to serve, take the encouragement from our verse today, and then tap into the
source of all the strength we need. In John 15:5, Jesus says, “I am the Vine,
you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much
fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”
Don’t overlook God’s power working in you that will produce
fruit. Truly we can do nothing apart
from Jesus. Staying connected with Him is essential for us to carry out the
work He’s called us to.
REFLECT
In what ways are you staying connected to “the Vine” as you
faithfully serve?
