God Promises We Shall Reap
Backgrounder: Galatians is Paul’s
manifesto of justification by faith.
He directs this charter of Christian
freedom to people who are about
to forsake the priceless liberty they
possess in Christ. Jewish legalists
are influencing the believers in
Galatia to trade their freedom
in Christ for bondage to the law.
Paul writes to refute their false
gospel of works & to show the
superiority of justification by faith.
Lord, we will Not Lose Heart:
You will always Harvest what
you plant… But those who live
to please the Spirit will harvest
everlasting life (Gal 6:7-8).
And let us not grow weary while
doing good, for in due season we
Shall Reap if we Do Not Lose Heart.
Therefore, as we have opportunity,
let us do good to all, especially to
the household of faith (9-10) Amen
Lord, we recognise whatever seeds
of priorities, habits and attitudes
we plant in our lives, eventually
will become what we harvest.
Lord, help us to keep planting
a spirit of praise and love for You
God & others; godly habits and
positive actions. For eventually
these seeds will grow; and become
a Harvest as promised by U. Amen
Lord, thank U for teaching me in
my weariness that I can do nothing
apart from You. I give myself to U
for You are my life, my strength
and my salvation. As I purpose
Not to Lose Heart, grant me the
power of Your life to restore joy.
And renew my vision to keep
doing your will & to do good. Amen
Lord, sometimes when we may
feel like giving up when things
are overwhelming. Remind me
that You God see and reward
faithfulness. I want to do right;
and I want to please U. Help me
to Persevere. May the knowledge
of Your goodness keep me going
when I feel like quitting. Amen.
