Reaping the Harvest

"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

God has designed the universe to work on the principle of sowing and reaping: You reap what you sow. This is true in the spiritual realm as well as in the physical realm (6:7-8). If we are sowing spiritual seed in God's service we can expect to reap a harvest for His glory. But we must sow the seed to reap the harvest. And we must not grow weary of sowing and working the field before the harvest arrives. God is faithful and the harvest will come. Keep sowing in faith.

Father, you know how impatient and weary I sometimes become as I await the harvest so I ask You to strengthen my faith that I might sow with expectancy and endurance to Your glory.

I'm praying for you.
Pastor Mark

  1. Good Morning Pastor Mark,
    We do enjoy your coming to our Connection Group, I guess even the Pastor need to stay connected (smile). This morning devotion reminded me that no deed done for the glory of God goes unnoticed by our heavenly Father. So often we do get weary when we don't see our seeds grow into plants and flowers. But Paul reminds us that whether we sow to the flesh or to the spirit we will reap a harvest. My prayer is that we altogether sow unto the spirit and reap a harvest that will be bring glory to our Great and loving Heavenly Father. Love in Christ Francie
