50 Days of Wisdom

In Galatians 6:9, Paul says, "Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary." He says this because at this point, some of the Galatians, and maybe some of you, are thinking, "Hmm, I've been sowing a lot of good things, and I've been walking in the Spirit, so when does the harvest come?" That's understandable because you can be pouring your life into walking in the Spirit and wondering why things are difficult in your life. Well, notice that Paul said, "in due time." What time is that? Due time is God's time, in God's season. Christians frequently act like children with reference to this harvest. They want to sow and reap the same day. So, some of the Spirit-filled believers are saying, "I'm sowing. The sowing is hard, and I'm getting tired, and I don't know if I'm seeing what I expected to see." Well, this is for you: "Do not lose heart. Do not grow weary." That means don't sin by becoming discouraged and entertaining fleshly discouragement. "Don't lose heart." Keep doing good—abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing your toil is not in vain. God will bring the harvest in His time. There's no place for weariness or spiritual laziness. God has been faithful to us, so we need to be faithful to sow the seeds of righteousness. This happens as the result of the fruit of the Spirit. Remember, the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, etc.—are attitudes, and they result in good actions. So Paul says, "Keep it up. Don't grow tired. Don't grow lazy. Don't turn away. Be like Christ." (Hebrews 12). Even though it was a hard road for Paul, he never grew weary but moved ahead because he saw the prize that was set before him. "Reward will come"—back to verse 9—"in due time," in God's time; God's season—"and you will reap if you don't grow weary." There's a full harvest coming if you're faithful. Don't turn away; continue abounding in the work of the Lord. Second John 8 says, "Watch yourselves, that you do not lose what we have accomplished, but that you may receive a full reward." That's talking about heaven. Keep moving. God will give you a harvest here and now and a reward in the future. But while we are in this season between our salvation and our glorification, "let us do good to all people." Listen, the New Testament is full of calls on us to do good, to silence the critics, to manifest the transformation that Christ has wrought in our lives, and to be lights in the world. This is the heart of our Christian testimony. Therefore, while we are in this season of life, let us do good to all people; let us be known by our goodness. Beloved, Scripture is clear. There's a law operating in the world. You can't get around it; you can't avoid it; it works. The whole universe is built on laws, physical and moral. And God's moral law is summed up, at least in this aspect, in "What you sow, you reap." That ought to be the motivation for living your life and walking in the Spirit, that you might reap the fruit of the Spirit. Again, if you sow in the Spirit, you will reap holiness. Why? Because righteous sowing results in a holy harvest. Repent and believe! GTY.org (48-41) – The Inescapable Law of Sowing and Reaping
