9 And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. 10 So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. ~ Galatians 6:9
Paul encourages us to not grow weary of doing good, but what does he really mean by that? This phrase translated as, grow weary, is the Greek word egkakōmen, which means:
• Don’t lose heart
• Or become discouraged
• Or slack off
But continue pressing forward. Continue living to the Spirit, continue doing what is pleasing to God, and do not quit, for in due season you will be rewarded by our Father who art in heaven.
This phrase “in well doing” includes: Obedience, Service, Prayer, Generosity, Faithfulness, And basically, all forms of Spirit-led living.
And “in due season” speaks of God’s appointed time for harvest. It’s all about God’s strategic moment.
But the harvest is not unconditional; it requires perseverance. So, keep on keeping on; the harvest is on its way.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Persevere.
