Key Verse:

“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”

— Galatians 6:9

Rooted Truth

There are seasons when doing the right thing feels like running uphill in the dark. You pray, serve, forgive, sacrifice—and still, it seems like nothing changes. No fruit. No recognition. No relief. In these moments, the temptation isn’t rebellion—it’s resignation. Not to sin, but to stop.

But Paul writes with urgency: “Don’t give up. Don’t grow weary.” Why? Because the harvest is coming.

God’s work often grows underground before it ever appears above the surface. The seed of your faithfulness, though unseen by others, is seen by God. And He promises: “In due season, we will reap.” That’s not a motivational quote—that’s a divine guarantee.

1 Corinthians 15:58 echoes this truth: “Be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.” Hebrews 6:10 reassures us that “God is not unjust to forget your work.” And Isaiah 40:31 promises renewed strength for those who wait on the Lord—not the strongest or the fastest, but the ones who don’t quit.

Faith Story

A pastor once said, “Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is not give up.” There’s glory in perseverance. David encouraged himself in the Lord when no one else stood with him. Jesus endured the cross by looking to the joy set before Him. And we, too, endure when we choose to stay faithful in weariness.

You may feel tired—but tired faith is still faith. A worn-out prayer is still a prayer. A tearful act of obedience is still obedience. God counts every one.

Scriptures for Deeper Roots

Galatians 6:9 – Don’t grow weary in doing good

1 Corinthians 15:58 – Your labor is not in vain

Hebrews 6:10 – God will not forget your work

Daily Practice

Encourage yourself in the Lord today.

Write down one area where you feel tired or unnoticed. Then write this over it: “In due season, I will reap—if I don’t give up.”

Read one of today’s Scriptures out loud and let your heart receive it as a personal promise from God.

Remember: faithfulness today leads to fruit tomorrow.

Daily Prayer

Lord, I’m tired. But I’m still here. Help me not to grow weary in doing good. Remind me that You see what no one else sees. Strengthen my hands, steady my heart, and renew my vision for what You’re doing behind the scenes. I choose to trust Your timing, believe Your promises, and keep planting seeds of obedience. Help me to stand firm—especially when I feel weak.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.
