God Promises Reaping Harvest
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 into the task You’ve
assigned me, to do it well to please
You and to enjoy the satisfaction.
But when things are overwhelming,
help me to persevere, and remind
me that You reward faithfulness.
And let 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
become what we will harvest.
Help us Lord to keep planting spirit
of praise and love for God & others;
godly habits and positive actions.
For eventually these seeds will
grow; and become a Harvest
as You have 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’re my
life, my strength and my salvation.
Grant me the power to restore joy;
even as I purpose Not to lose heart.
Renew my vision Lord to keep
doing Your will and to do good.
And let knowledge of Yr goodness
energise me when I feel down.Amen
