Let Us Not Be Weary in Well Doing

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

The Lord gave this verse to me when I really needed it. Weary means feeling or showing tiredness. I’m sure we can all agree that there are many times in life that we feel weary. This verse was quoted many times to us students throughout my years of school. We must come to understand the fact the world is run by tired people. Being tired is usually a good thing. It usually means one is working hard.

Again, the Bible mentions the sowing and reaping principle. It seems like that has been a recurring topic. Being a farmer takes a lot of work! Growing up, we would have a garden that was maybe 30 feet by 15 feet. A garden that small took so much work. I cannot even imagine having fields and fields to take care of. It takes work, but if the farmer throws in the towel and does nothing, he will have no fruit when harvest season comes. However, if the farmer will labor and work and not get weary in his well doing, he will reap greatly when the harvest seasons comes.

Christian, our harvest time is coming. We must work and labor while we still can. John 9:4 says, “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.” Let us not get weary in well doing. Let us work while we still can, for one day we shall reap if we faint not.
