God Promises Do-Gooders Reap
Galatians is Paul’s manifesto of
justification by faith. He directs
this charter of Christian freedom
to people who are about to forsake
the 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’ll Press On to Do Good:
Pay careful attention to your own
work, for then you will get the
satisfaction of a job well done.
For each one should bear his
own load (Galatians 6:4-5).
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 (v9-10).
Lord, I desire to live a meaningful
and purposeful life for Your glory.
I want to sink myself into the task
You have assigned me. And I want
to do the task well to please You
as well as enjoy the satisfaction. 
But when things are overwhelming,
help me to persevere, and remind
me that You reward faithfulness.
May knowledge of Your goodness
keep me going when weary. 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 and others; godly habits and
positive actions. For eventually
these seeds will grow; and become
a Harvest as You’ve promised. Amen
Lord, Thank You for teaching me
in my weariness that I can do
absolutely nothing apart from You.
I give myself to You for You are my
life, my strength and my salvation.
As I purpose Not to Lose Heart,
grant me the power to restore joy.
And renew my vision to keep
doing Your will and to do good. 
May knowledge of Your goodness
keep me going when I feel down.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
