The Harvest is Worth It

 Deuteronomy 28-29; Galatians 6 

“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 does not grow tired or weary, but he does give strength to the weary and to those who wait on him (Isaiah 40:28, 29). The harvest waits for the proper time. As we sow gospel seeds, and water, fertilize, and nurture faith, we are dependent on the Lord of the harvest who makes faith grow. The harvest is the multiplication of the gospel seed within us into full maturity and fruit which is a hundred fold and more. Working with the Holy Spirit each day to please and obey the Lord requires perseverance and discipline. Loving our neighbor as ourselves is tiring in our own strength. In the power of the Spirit, we can love one another through doing good and waiting on the Lord for the full harvest in both our lives and the lives of others. This kingdom-harvest is worth it! Let’s not give up. All our obedience and faith will be worth it in the end!

“Lord Jesus, Lord of the harvest, empower me this day with your Spirit by love, hope, and faith, for your glory.”
