Continue To Do Good
We May Receive That Reward During Our Time on Earth, or In Heaven—But Regardless of When We Receive it, We Should Persevere in Doing Good.
Galatians 6:9 KJV
[9] And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Do you remember the last time you were completely exhausted?
Maybe you spent your entire day or week working on a hard project.
And Maybe you felt depleted after helping other people in your life.
Or maybe hard situations and setbacks made you feel like giving up.
All of us grow tired at some point.
Continue To Do Good
Paul, the writer of Galatians, knew that the people he was writing to would also become tired of the work they were doing.
During Paul’s time, there was a lot of persecution and hurting people,
and Paul was writing to encourage them in the work they were doing.
Inside Paul’s encouragement to the Galatians is this truth:
Even good people will tire of doing good things.
That’s why Paul encourages everyone to continue to push forward in doing good.
We should continue to help people.
Also, We should continue to share the hope of Jesus with people. And We should continue to try and live as God would want us to.
God knows that we’ll eventually grow weary.
And when we grow tired and frustrated, we’ll probably begin to question why we’re doing any of this to begin with.
(Maybe you’ve already asked yourself this.)
But Galatians 6:9 encourages us to persevere in doing good things.

Similar to how a farmer must work diligently to plant his crops and wait months before the actual harvest,
Paul says there will be a harvest for those who do not give up.
Just like the Christians in Galatia, we also need to persevere in living godly lives and helping those around us.
If we do not give up, Scripture says there will be a reward for us.
We may receive that reward during our time on earth, or in heaven—but regardless of when we receive it, we should persevere in doing good.
That means that your work matters. There is value to how you live and love others.
So, spend some time today considering the good that you have done and can continue to do for others.

Who can you help?
Who can you share the hope of Jesus with? How can you continue to persevere in living a godly life?
If you’ve grown weary or defeated, make a commitment today to never give up.
Choose to persevere through whatever season of life you’re in,
knowing that there will be a harvest for those who finish well.
Let Us Pray:
God, help me to never become tired of doing good things.
As I grow closer to You, give me the endurance to serve and love others no matter how I’m feeling.
I want to bring those around me closer to You—so please help me to act more like You.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
