So we must not grow weary in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not give up.
Into the Text
Abiding in Christ is a journey of staying close to Him, especially when life gets hard and weariness starts to creep in. In Galatians 6:9, Paul encourages us not to grow weary in doing good. He knows that there are times when serving, loving, and doing the right thing feels difficult and tiring. But the promise in this verse is a reminder that our efforts, when rooted in Christ, are never wasted.
We live in a world that values quick results and visible success, but the work God calls us to often grows in quiet, unseen ways. Whether we’re planting seeds of love in our families, serving faithfully in our communities, or reaching out to someone who needs encouragement, God sees every moment. And as we remain connected to Jesus, He supplies the strength we need to keep going.
When we feel worn out or discouraged, it’s often a signal to draw closer to Christ. Abiding is more than just working for Him; it’s resting in Him, letting His love and grace renew us.
If you’re feeling weary, remember that you’re not alone. Jesus is with you, empowering you to keep going. The fruit of your labor may not always be visible now, but in due time, He will bring a harvest that reflects His glory. Let your work be an act of worship, trusting that He is using your efforts in ways beyond what you can see.
Prayer
Dear Jesus, thank you for the strength to keep going even when I feel weary. Help me to abide in you and to trust that you will bring fruit in your perfect timing. Let my life be a testimony of your faithfulness, and may I never give up on the good you’ve called me to do. Amen.
