Galatians 6:9 – Meaning & Devotional
"And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."
What This Verse Means
Paul encourages believers to keep doing good even when tired and discouraged. The promise is clear: a harvest is coming. But the condition is equally clear: don't give up.
'Due season' means God's timing, not ours. We plant and water; He determines when the harvest comes. The temptation is to quit right before the breakthrough.
Historical Context
Paul was teaching the Galatians about sowing and reaping — a universal agricultural principle applied to spiritual life. Just as farmers must wait patiently for harvest, believers must persist in doing good.
How to Apply This Today
If you're tired of doing good without seeing results, don't quit. The harvest is coming. Keep serving, keep praying, keep loving. Due season is approaching.

🙏 A Prayer from Galatians 6:9
Lord, I'm tired but I won't quit. Renew my strength to keep doing good. I trust that the harvest is coming in Your perfect timing. Help me not to faint. Amen.
