The Power of Not Giving Up

Takeaway: Staying committed to doing good pays off in the end.

Context

Paul is writing to the Galatians, encouraging them to stay strong in their faith and actions. They were facing challenges and some were feeling tired or discouraged. He reminds them that perseverance leads to rewards.

Meaning

Doing good can sometimes feel exhausting. We might wonder if our efforts even matter. Paul encourages us not to lose heart. It’s easy to become weary, especially when we don’t see immediate results. But the promise is clear. If we keep going, we will see a harvest. This isn’t just about big, flashy results. It’s about the small, consistent acts of kindness and love that build up over time.

Think about your own life. Have you ever felt like giving up on a project, a relationship, or even a good habit? Paul’s words remind us that persistence is key. It’s not just about starting well, but finishing well too. We are called to keep sowing those good seeds. They will grow eventually. Trust that your efforts have value, even if you can’t see them right now.

Live It

• Reach out to someone who’s struggling this week. A simple text can lift their spirits.
• Set a timer for 10 minutes. Use that time to help someone with a task they’ve been dreading.
• Each morning, write down one good thing you can do that day. It can be small, but do it!

Reflect & Pray

Reflect: What good have I been tempted to give up on lately? How can I remind myself of the importance of perseverance?
Pray: God, help me to stay strong in doing good. Remind me that my efforts matter. I want to trust in your timing and keep going.
