Good things take time
For the days when waiting feels like the hardest part.
Galatians 6:9–10 · 3 MIN READLet’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season if we don’t give up.Galatians 6:9–10
Bread dough isn't impressed by a busy schedule. You can check the bowl every two minutes, but it still takes time to rise. Waiting has a way of showing us how much we'd like to be in charge.
In Galatians 6, Paul is talking about life together: carrying burdens, sowing to the Spirit, and doing good to others. His encouragement to keep going isn't a promise that every personal ambition will work out. It's an invitation to faithfulness when doing good feels tiring.
Think of one quiet good thing you can keep tending. An honest conversation. A meal for a neighbor. Showing up for someone who needs you. You may not see a result today. The absence of a quick result doesn't make love wasted.
Reflect
Where are you growing weary of doing good? What would one faithful next step look like?
Pray
Jesus, give me patience to keep loving when I cannot see the outcome. Help me notice a good thing I can do today. Amen.
