Keep Doing Good — Harvest Time’s Up Ahead!
Today’s blog inspiration comes straight from our faithful mentor, the Apostle Paul. His words in Galatians 6:9 still roar across the centuries: “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”
There it is — a rally cry for every weary do-gooder who’s been plowing, planting, and wondering if the field will ever produce anything but blisters.
It’s been a tough row to hoe these last few years, hasn’t it? Maybe you’ve gritted your teeth just to stay kind. Maybe you’ve shut your ears to the angry noise and kept your heart from hardening. It’s tempting to hang a “Do Not Disturb” sign on your spirit — to lock the doors, bolt the windows, and ration out your faith like it’s the last jar of grandma’s preserves.
But then comes Paul’s voice again — strong, scarred, and steady:
“Don’t give up. Keep doing good.”
And suddenly I remember — he wasn’t writing from a cozy farmhouse with sweet tea in hand. He was writing from prisons and storms, beaten, mocked, and still saying, “Keep planting.”
Friend, maybe your kindness hasn’t been noticed. Maybe your prayers seem unanswered. Maybe you’ve loved deeply and gotten bruised in return. Jesus knows that pain — He stretched out His arms and kept loving anyway.
Hebrews 12:2 reminds us: “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus… who for the joy set before Him endured the cross.”
When we fix our eyes on Him instead of the mess around us, hope comes rushing back like rain on dry ground.
So let’s grab our spiritual work gloves and keep sowing good seeds — love, mercy, forgiveness, generosity. Because harvest time is coming.
And when it does? I’m climbing up on the biggest John Deere I can find — joy in the tank, grace in the gearshift, and a smile that says, “I’m not quitting.”
Anyone want to ride shotgun?
