Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
I am blessed with some amazing mentors in my life. Some came alongside me for a season, and some came to stay. But what they all have in common is that I think they don’t even realise how much of a difference their influence was making in my life.
One of the most encouraging truths we can learn is that our impact is not always immediately visible. There are seeds we plant today whose fruit we may never see. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t growing!
As an (unknown) wise person once said, “The shade of today’s tree was borrowed from a long-ago seed sower!”
God works through processes that extend beyond our perspective, or even our lifetime.
What feels small to us may be significant in eternity. The key is that we keep planting those seeds. The Bible says:
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. – Galatians 6:9, NIV
This verse reminds us that perseverance matters. Doing good consistently—even when it feels unnoticed—leads to a harvest in God’s timing.
We don’t always see the full ripple effect of our actions. A word of encouragement, a prayer whispered in faith, a moment of kindness—these may carry further than we ever realise!
Don’t grow weary in doing good!
Today, let’s remain faithful, trusting that God is multiplying our obedience in ways beyond our awareness.
Let’s pray together:
Heavenly Father, help me remain steadfast in doing good, even when I don’t see immediate results. Strengthen my endurance and remind me that You are working through every faithful step I take. Teach me to trust Your timing and Your process. In Jesus’ name, amen.
