DON’T DIG UP IN DOUBT WHAT YOU PLANTED BY FAITH
The apostle Paul told the believers in Galatia, not to “get tired” in their good work. Perhaps they were feeling the fatigue that comes from working without evidence of any result. Like a farmer, they had tilled the soil and sown the seed, but nothing had yet come up. Paul encouraged them not to give up. For the harvest will come at the “proper time” that the Lord has set. In other words, hang in there, persevere, keep on keeping on, don’t lose heart! For the Lord will bring the increase in due season.
Our calling is to do the good work with the strength and purpose God has given us, and leave the results up to Him. Let us focus on being faithful, not successful. Our success is in the Lord’s hands.
PRAYER: Dear Father, we entrust the results to You. Strengthen us to be faithful in doing the work You have gifted us and called us to do. Help us to focus on being faithful to You, knowing that You are the One who can multiply our loaves and fishes to feed a multitude. In Jesus’ name, amen.
